Louis Graveraet Kaufman: The Fabulous Michigan Gatsby

Monday, March 16, 2026 (9:30 AM - 11:30 AM) (EDT)

Description

Join us for an illuminating morning with acclaimed author Ann Berman as she presents her latest work: The Fabulous Michigan Gatsby Who Conquered Wall Street, Took Over General Motors and Built the World’s Tallest Building.

Discover the remarkable life of Louis Graveraet Kaufman (1871-1942) — a half-Jewish, part-Indigenous man who built one of America’s largest banks, commissioned a 26,000-square-foot log lodge on Park Avenue and helped finance Empire State Building. The evening includes a presentation, interactive Q&A and a book-signing with the author. Whether you’re a history-buff, business enthusiast or simply love a great story, this event is for you.

Bring your curiosity, and your copy of the book or purchase one on site, for a memorable night of narrative, insight and inspiration.
