Abstract
Description
An eccentric man, Train began his career as a businessman and amassed a fortune in a real estate venture in Nebraska. He made an unsuccessful run for president of the United States in 1868 and was later declared legally insane by no less than six courts. In the last years of his life, he refused to speak with adults and would only communicate with children.
