The great Jewish banking families of New York are closed, mysterious, clannish, even arrogant. Considering themselves an elite, these families for many generations married only among “their crowd.” Today, the branches of family trees intertwine endlessly. Our Crowd is a fascinating inside look at one of the richest segments of a wealthy city: the life of the Jewish upper class in New York - vibrant, exotic, romantic, special. A city within a city: where sixty people sat down to dine, accompanied by as many footmen; castles on Long Island, castles in Westchester; private railway carriages, huge art collections; power, culture and a determination never to invade or appear to have invaded the pagan "establishment". Remarkable individuals, magnificent dynasties - from the luxurious fabrics of their lives Stephen Birmingham has created a superb social history.
