		Morgan's first position was as an accountant in the New York firm of Duncan, Sherman and Company, a financial institution that represented the interests of the London based banking enterprise George Peabody and Company.
		Morgan's accumulation of the major transportation of the era did in fact stabilize both travel and shipping rates, quell competition and regulated industry standards and controls in an age when the government could not or would not issue regulation.
		Morgan's profits and flamboyant lifestyle were the focus of attention, media tirades and outright resentment which overshadowed his work as a pioneering philanthropist.

	Harry Bensley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to original tale, one evening in 1907 at the National Sporting Club in London, Morgan and Lonsdale were arguing whether a man could walk around the world without being identified.
		The outcome of the exchange was that Lonsdale bet Pierpoint Morgan the then-extravagant sum of USD 100,000 that Bensley would complete a pedestrian circumnavigation.
		One version of the tale claims that Morgan contacted him, called the bet off because of the war and gave him £4000 for consolation (note that Morgan was already dead at this time).

		John the Fearless arranged to have Louis of Orleans assassinated in 1407 and, after that, the two factions were at war with eachother.
		As for John of Burgandy, the English triumph was so great as to make him nervous, and he might have changed his policy and ended the civil war but, in 1419, he was assassinated at the direction of the Dauphin [of France].
