	Hetty Green - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Henrietta "Hetty" Howland Robinson Green (November 21, 1834 – July 3, 1916) was an American businesswoman, remarkable for her frugality during the Gilded Age as well as for being the first American woman to make a substantial impact on Wall Street.
		Hetty Green was born Henrietta Howland Robinson in New Bedford, Massachusetts.
		Green made much of her business at the offices of the Seaboard National Bank in New York, surrounded by trunks and suitcases full of her papers; she did not want to pay rent for an office.

		A number of myths have grown up over the years about the "Witch of Wall Street," and it was a pleasure to read a biography from someone who clearly found Hetty Green to be at least as interesting as her myth is forbidding.
		Turns out that Hetty's son Ned -- Edward Howland Robinson Green -- was one of those science-friendly folk who, in a discreet way, advanced the cause on several fronts.
		Green also invited scientists to hang out and work at the estate, called Round Hill -- and in 1931, Robert van de Graaff built his giant air-insulated particle accelerator right there in the dirigible hangar.

	Technology Review: Emerging Technologies and their Impact
		Though the shores of Buzzards Bay near New Bedford, MA, may seem an unlikely place for an MIT lab, the work done on Green's estate was at the forefront of research in radio communication, aircraft navigation, high-voltage generators, and meteorology.
		But in every corner are reminders of the estate's golden days: the crumbling foundation of an old bathhouse on the beach, the wooden beams left over from construction of Green's seaplane ramp, and the indentations from railroad ties that led into the blimp hangar.
		The estate's physical remains may be slowly disappearing into the scenery, but Green's story has been resurrected by Barbara Bedell in her book Colonel Edward Howland Robinson Green and the World He Created at Round Hill.

		EDWARD HOWLAND ROBINSON GREEN Eric P. Newman writes: "Col. Green was such an unusual character that I have to comment that I met him when I was a student at M.I.T. about 1931.
		Members of our class were invited to go down to his estate in Round Hill, Massachusetts where he had one of the very few short wave radio stations.

	"...and my heart stood still"
		Colonel Edward Howland Robinson Green was a logical buyer for the sheet, as Robey himself must have known when he tried to meet with Green in New York.
		But it was whaling plus the shrewdness of Black Hawk Robinson that enabled his daughter Hetty, through forgery, perjury, penury, genius, ruthlessness, and physical stamina, to die in 1916 the richest and most detested woman in America and the mother of two children whose lives she had ruined.
		However, in the series of 28 auctions held from 1942 to 1946 to disperse Green’s massive collection for his estate (he died in June 1936), a total of 38 Inverted “Jenny” stamps were offered, including the block of eight, three blocks of four, five fully-perforated stamps and 13 of the original 19 straight-edge stamps.

	New Bedford Whaling Museum \| Research
		Captain Edward Merrill (1800-1884) enjoyed a short and uncommonly successful whaling career, commanding three voyages and holding shares in others; he then invested his substantial earnings to build a thriving shoreside business in New Bedford.
		Born at Durham, Maine, in 1800, Merrill likely served on more than one whaling voyage in his youth, briefly ran a store in Portland, Maine, and was associated in maritime trade with Captain Isaac Winslow of Portland and merchants Jeremiah Winslow, Paul Barney, Samuel Rodman, and William R. Rodman of New Bedford.
		During construction of Merrill’s Wharf (1841-47), the owner, Captain Edward Merrill, proposed to the owners of the adjoining property to the south, coal dealers Perry and Wilson, that they might share with Merrill the cost of building a retaining wall along the riverfront of both properties, to prevent erosion and stabilize both neighboring plots.

		It may also interest Texans to know that the first great American whaling fortune, assembled by oil merchant and prominent whaleship owner Edward Mott Robinson of Providence, Rhode Island, became heavily invested in Texas railroads.
		This was the fortune inherited in the 1860s and managed thereafter by Robinson's notoriously parsimonious daughter, Hetty Green, "The Witch of Wall Street"; and by Hetty's notoriously profligate son, "Colonel" Edward Howland Robinson Green of South Dartmouth, Massachusetts.
		He was a Texas honorary colonel, and loved nothing better than playing around with "his" trains in the Lone Star State.
