In Lincoln's Sons Ruth Painter Randall writes that during the 1890s Robert lost his interest in the law. She continues, "Robert was cut out for a businessman and business claimed him from that time on...He succeeded so well that in 1897 he was made president of the Pullman Company. By that time he had become one of the nation's well-known financiers and business leaders. He was spoken of as a "Captain of Industry" and associated with the other men of money and power in the United States. The son of the President who had been born in a log cabin was a millionaire."
