Book Synopsis William Alexander Leidesdorff - First Black Millionaire, American Consul and California Pioneer by : Gary M. Palgon
Book excerpt: William Alexander Leidesdorff is probably one of the best-kept secrets in the pioneering of the West and the creation of the State of California. Born out of wedlock in St. Croix, Danish West Indies in 1810 to a Jewish Danish sugar planter and a black plantation worker, he went on to become the first Black millionaire when gold was found on his property shortly before he died in 1848.
