Description
When eleven-year-old Cornelius Vanderbilt began to work on his father's small boat ferrying supplies in New York Harbor at the beginning of the nineteenth century, no one could have imagined that one day he would, through ruthlessness, cunning, and a pathological desire for money, build two empires that would make him the richest man in America. His son Billy doubled the money left by "the Commodore," but subsequent generations competed to find new and ever more extraordinary ways of spending it. Cooper, the Commodore's great-great-great-grandson, explores the story of his legendary family and their outsized influence. -- adapted from jacket
