Good+ No Jacket. 8vo 7.75-9.75'' tall. Hardcover. Book Condition: Good+. Jacket Condition: No Jacket. Privately Printed, Boston, MA 1932. 283 pages. Green cloth, gold lettering, top page ends gold gilt. Moderate general wear. Size: 8vo 7.75-9.75'' tall. Folding genealogical chart at rear. Illustrated with many b/w photos. James Jackson Storrow II (1864-1926) was a Boston-area investment banker instrumental in forming General Motors and its third president (for just two months, 1910-11). He was a business partner of Henry Lee Higginson, founder of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. He served on the Boston City Council, 1915-1918. In 1901, he began the campaign to dam the Charles River and create the Charles River Basin, and to preserve and improve the riverbanks as a public park. Storrow Drive, a highway that now runs along the river, is named for him, despite his never having advocated such a highway and his wife's vocal opposition to it. In 1919, Boston faced a possible strike by its police officers who were seeking the right to form a union under a charter from the American Federation of Labor. With police Commissioner Edwin U. Curtis at odds with the rank and file police, Boston Mayor Andrew J. Peters appointed Storrow to chair an ad hoc Citizen's Committee to review the matter. Storrow's group recommended that the police be allowed to form their own union. Commissioner Curtis rejected the recommendation and Boston experienced a dramatic police strike. He was the second national president of the Boy Scouts of America from 1925 until his death in 1926. Biography New England: Biographies/Memoirs 7070.
