Obscurity of reference?

A quick bit of market research for something an author has sent in for one of the games.

Have you heard of the late 19th century American figure George Graham Rice? If so, what do you associate him with? (No Googling etc, just what comes off the top of your head please.)

And, if you've got this far, please do comment with "Nope" if that's the answer (rather than just not commenting), will give me a better proportion of recognition level!

Edit: OK, that's enough now, thanks! See next journal entry for explanation.

George Graham Rice

OK, I think we've established that he is extremely obscure! -- the US-type folks on brits_americans didn't have any more clue than you guys did. I think I'll get back to our author and suggest she drops the reference. Thanks everyone for replying!

He was a notorious stock promoter / swindler, best known probably for his book My Adventures with Your Money -- there's a good account of him here. Maybe deserves to be better known!
