		William Butler Ogden (June 15, 1805 - August 3, 1877) was the first Mayor of Chicago, Illinois.

		Ogden ran the Chicago and Michigan Steam Boat Company and a local brewery, was president of Rush Medical College, and financed local banks as well as Cyrus McCormick's new reaper factory.
		Ogden returned to his New York estate and a comfortable retirement, recalling, "Never before was a large and very beautiful and fortunate City built by [a] generation of people so proud, so in love with their work, never a City so lamented and grieved over as Chicago."

		The first president of the railroad in 1849 was William Butler Ogden who only a few years earlier had served as Chicago's first mayor.
		Because at that time there were no rail lines from the east into the city, the "Pioneer" had to come to Chicago by water- via the Great Lakes in a sailing brig.
		Notwithstanding the need of rail lines to the east, Ogden pointed his little railroad westward across prairies and through forests, thereby opening a vast wilderness in Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin and the Dakotas to settlement.

	OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY CHAPTER VII
		McCormick was without means; but William Butler Ogden, a railroad builder, ex-Mayor and leading citizen of Chicago, supplied $25,000 with which the first factory was built there in 1847.
		Two years after Ogden paid him $25,000 for a half interest in the business, McCormick bought it back for $50,000; and thereafter, until his death in 1884, no one but members of the McCormick family had any interest in the business.
		It may be urged that railroads and steamships, the telegraph and harvesting machinery were introduced before the accumulation of investment capital had developed the investment banker, and before America's "great banking houses" had been established; and that, consequently, it would be fairer to inquire what services bankers had rendered in connection with later industrial development.
