Summary:
Vanderbilt: The very name is synonymous with the Gilded Age. The family patriarch, 'the Commodore,' built a fortune that made him the world's richest man by 1877. Yet, less than fifty years after his death, no Vanderbilt was counted among the world's richest people. Written by descendant Arthur T. Vanderbilt II, he traces the dramatic and amazingly colorful history, from the rise of industrialist and philanthropist Cornelius Vanderbilt to the fall of his progeny.
