Summary:

This cultural history of mainline Protestantism and American cities - most notably, New York City - focuses on wealthy, urban Episcopalians and the influential ways they used their money. Peter W. Williams argues that such Episcopalians, many of them the country's most successful industrialists and financiers, left a deep and lasting mark on American urban culture.
