• Notes

  When Kate Reed, daughter of a pioneer doctor in Illinois, met J.B. Hall, the young proprietor of a store just across the Mississippi in Iowa, the future must have appeared straightforward. But less than a year after they married, the panic of 1857 bankrupt him. It was the first of several boom-bust cycles they would endure through their lives and that would force them to move many times. They prospered well enough to send their daughter to finishing school and to hobnob with politicians. But at the peak of his career, when he was president of the National Insurance Company and an Ohio state legislator, his company collapsed and he was charged with fraud.
