The First Tycoon: The Epic Life of Cornelius Vanderbilt
Jesse James: Last Rebel of the Civil War
ALSO BY T. J. STILES
THE LAST TYCOON
The Epic Life of Cornelius Vanderbilt
In this National Book Award–winning 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.
