Henry Meiggs ( July 7, 1811 – September 30, 1877), was a promoter/entrepreneur and railroad builder born in Boston, Massachusetts. Meiggs became extended financially in trying to do this. In order to make ends meet, he illicitly obtained a book full of warrants on the Street Fund (which had little money in it), which the city’s controller and mayor had fallen into the habit of signing by the book in advance. Meiggs forged the remaining information and raised money. Before his fraud was discovered, Meiggs left San Francisco on October 6, 1854, in the brig American, heading for South America. According to him, he landed with only $8,000 (his fraud raised, by some accounts, half a million), lost it immediately. Meiggs became a successful railroad builder, building the second railroad in Chile, between Santiago and Valparaíso. After building himself a mansion in Chile with his immense fortunes, he moved his career on to Peru in the mid-1860s. He built a railroad from Lima – the capital city – to the Altiplano, which has an altitude of 14,000 feet. He built many railroads in Peru, and died in 1877 in Lima, Peru while constructing a railroad in Costa Rica which was completed by his nephew, Minor C. Keith. He is said to have been the virtual dictator of Peru by that time, known as “Don Enrique,” with interests ranging from silver mines to cleaning up the city of Lima by building a seven-mile-long park. �������������������������� Est. $120-200 Poland 704 704 Republic of Poland 1920 I/U Coupon Bond Poland, 1920. $50 I/U 6% U.S. Dollar Gold Bond in English and Polish.
