''Roger Drake: Captain of Industry'' is a novel written by Henry Kitchell Webster and published in 1902. The book follows the story of Roger Drake, a wealthy businessman who rises to the top of the industrial world through hard work and determination. The story is set in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and explores the themes of ambition, power, and the corrupting influence of wealth. As a young man, Roger Drake starts as a lowly clerk in a small business, but his intelligence and drive quickly earn him promotions and opportunities to move up the corporate ladder. He eventually becomes the owner of his own company and expands his business empire, becoming one of the most powerful men in the industry. However, as Roger’s wealth and power grow, he becomes increasingly ruthless and willing to do whatever it takes to maintain his position. He becomes involved in shady business deals and political corruption, and his personal life suffers as a result. The novel also explores the relationships between Roger and those around him, including his wife, children, and business associates. It delves into the complexities of human nature and the consequences of pursuing success at any cost. Overall, ''Roger Drake: Captain of Industry'' is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that offers a glimpse into the world of American business during the turn of the century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
