What is recorded here
James Graham Fair left poverty in Clogher, County Tyrone, to become one of the Comstock Lode's greatest silver kings. He built railroads, banks and real empires, yet kept a Newark estate managed by distant lawyers long after his death. The facts contain no record of what that house looked like, who walked its rooms or whether Fair ever returned to the valley that held his wealth.
Why this person is known: American politician (1831–1894)
