James Fisk Jr. was an American stockbroker and corporate executive who was one of the robber barons of the Gilded Age. He achieved much ill-fame for his role in Black Friday in 1869, where he and his partner Jay Gould befriended the unsuspecting President Ulysses S. Grant in an attempt to use the President's good name in a scheme to corner the gold market in New York City. On January 7, 1872, Fisk was assassinated in New York City by his former mistress's new lover, who was trying to blackmail him.
