About this product

Product Information

NATIONAL BESTSELLER WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD In this groundbreaking biography, T.J. Stiles tells the dramatic story of Cornelius Commodore Vanderbilt, the combative man and American icon who, through his genius and force of will, did more than perhaps any other individual to create modern capitalism. Meticulously researched and elegantly written, The First Tycoon describes an improbable life, from Vanderbilt's humble birth during the presidency of George Washington to his death as one of the richest men in American history. In between we see how the Commodore helped to launch the transportation revolution, propel the Gold Rush, reshape Manhattan, and invent the modern corporation. Epic in its scope and success, the life of Vanderbilt is also the story of the rise of America itself.

To be honest, I have not had time to read it yet, but with this pandemic maybe I will have time to read it soon.
Why pay the price for a brand new book when you can get a slightly used one for so much less!

TRULY A CLASSIC ON AMERICA'S FIRST TYCOON...
This is a really compelling book that, although long, is worth the read. I am in the early pages and can't really comment on the later part of the book.
