Aprašymas

What was John Hooper's true legacy? It is the year 1838. He drops out of the Military Academy at West Point. Then tries the railroad for a year or so. He convinces Horace Greeley to hire him at the New York Tribune. At $8 a week. Suddenly he is the founder of the first advertising agency in the City, The John Hooper Advertising Agency. He doesn't stop there.

In a fast-paced and richly detailed exploration, historian and author Robert Hooper brings to life the story of John Hooper, weaving in the experiences of the family John and his beloved Angeline built during the tumultuous mid-to late-nineteenth century in New York City. This is a tale of ambition and unwavering grit, culminating in both remarkable success and profound tragedy, along with controversies that echoed across John's treasured city. Yet, John's enduring legacy remains visible even today.
