Morgan orchestrated the mergers that built U.S. Steel, General Electric, and International Harvester, then held the reins on 21 railroads and enough of Wall Street that when the banking system nearly collapsed in 1907, he personally organized the rescue."

# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  John Pierpont Morgan Sr. was born April 17, 1837, into a banking family — his grandfather had co-founded Aetna. By the Gilded Age he ran the firm that would become JPMorgan Chase and made himself the architect of industrial consolidation, stitching together the sprawling corporations that came to define American capitalism at the turn of the twentieth century. His portfolio stretched across Aetna, Western Union, Pullman Car Company, and a rail empire of 21 lines. During the Panic of 1907 he assembled a coalition of financiers to stop the monetary system from buckling. He died in his sleep in Rome on March 31, 1913, at 75, leaving an $80 million fortune and the family business to his son.
