Edward Howland Robinson "Ned" Green (August 22, 1868 – June 8, 1936), also known as Colonel Green, was an American businessman, the only son of the miser Hetty Green (the "Witch of Wall Street"). In the late 19th-century, he became a political ally in the Republican Party of William Madison McDonald, a prominent African-American politician. After his mother's death in 1916 and his inheritance of half her fortune, Green built a mansion in Round Hill, Massachusetts. He was noted for his stamp and coin collections. ==Biography== Edward Green was the first of two children of Hetty and Edward Henry Green. His sister Harriet Sylvia Ann Howland Green Wilks, called Sylvia, was born in 1871. Their mother amassed a fortune through her business dealings and was known as a miser.〔 Ned broke his leg as a child, and Hetty first tried to have him admitted to a free clinic for the poor.〔Slack, Charles, ''Hetty: The Genius And Madness Of America's First Female Tycoon'', New York: Ecco (2004) ISBN 0-06-054256-X.〕 Charles Slack, her biographer, said that she was recognized, and she agreed to pay for the medical services. She also sought other doctors for help for Ned, while trying home remedies.〔 The boy's leg did not heal properly and, after years of unsuccessful treatment, had to be amputated. Ned had to use a cork prosthesis. He grew to 6'4" (1.93 m) and 300 lb. (136 kg) as an adult.〔 Green attended private schools, and then graduated from Fordham College. He later studied real estate law.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Edward Howland Robinson Green」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
