Huge Deal: The Fortunes and Follies of Hugh D McIntosh by Frank Van Straten

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.

Starting as a humble pie delivery boy, Hugh D. McIntosh, known as ‘Huge Deal’, rose to amazing heights of wealth through investments in entertainment, boxing and theatre in Australia at the end of the 19th Century. But his extravagant lifestyle and lavish spending caught up with him, and he died penniless.

This is the scandalous story of his fantastic rise and fall. (publisher blurb)
