Henry Clews wrote the book 28 Years in Wall Street, a late 19th century account of business in New York's financial district.  He also wrote a section in King's Views of the New York Stock Exchange.

Mr. Clews was a powerful force in New York society and business and played a significant role in organizing civil society to take down William Tweed, the "Boss" of Tammany Hall.
