Through narrative ethnography this paper examines heirs of a Robber Baron fortune that was made at the turn of the twentieth century. An ethnography of the written text coupled with that of a contested way of life-foxhunting in an estate area at the edge of the suburbs outside Philadelphia-finds that a pragmatic discourse animates the leisure activity, just as pragmatic conversations pervade consumer culture among all classes in the U.S. It is also shown that the corporate form used by those who made large industrial fortunes has spread throughout American life and left distinctive traces on the landscape.
