About this listen

Acclaimed historian Edward J. Renehan, Jr. - author of Dark Genius of Wall Street - draws upon previously unreleased documents to deliver the definitive biography of Cornelius Vanderbilt, the 19th-century transportation tycoon who accumulated the largest private fortune in U.S. history. This is the definitive biography of a man whose influence on American business was unsurpassed in his day - or any other.©2007 Edward J.

What the critics say

"Vanderbilt's personal life is fascinating; highlights include the Vanderbilts' grand tour of Europe, his lifelong penchant for prostitutes (including the Woodhull sisters, whom Vanderbilt made the first female brokers on Wall Street) and the syphilis-induced madness that plagued his final years - material new in this biography and a testament to Renehan's typically assiduous research." ( Publishers Weekly)
