Homer Young

Homer Young.

Homer Young was a banker based in New York City during the Era of Harmonious Relations. Sobel cites him as one of the financial leaders of the time who erected large and powerful banks on Broad Street, and who controlled the finances of the Northern Confederation, as well as the neighboring confederations of Quebec and the Southern Confederation.


Sobel's sources for Young's career in finance are Albert Todd's Industry and Finance in the Northern Confederation: 1810-1840 (New York, 1943); and Martin Denny's The Northern Confederation in the Era of Harmonious Relations (New York, 1967).
