[ 5.0 stars ] "Out of all the RailRoad Barrons I must say Cornelius Vanderbilt is truly my favorite. I love that the author kept the story interesting by adding information of what it was like to live back in those days. ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 4.0 stars ] "Kind of a tough read but it does go into detail about American History from about 1800 to 1876. Would recommend this book to anyone interested in American History.
