 | | In the mid-1920s, Harriman invested in extracting manganese from mines in the Soviet Republic of Georgia, and during the early 1930s, he took charge of the Union Pacific Railroad and was credited with revivifying the line during the bleakest years of the Depression. |
 | | Harriman's extensive social life as a businessman is manifest at every turn, from correspondence and other exchanges with eminences of European and American society to the entertainment files he kept with respect to dinners, travel excursions, sporting interests, and construction and management of Arden Estate, the family's New York country home. |
