Summary: 5 Stars
We went to the Biltmore mansion this summer and I was interested in the history of this family. I loved this book. The title of this book is "fortune's children", but it covers entire history of Vanderbilt family from the first generation. It was also very attractive to me the society of gilded age rich people in NYC in this book!Book Review: Incredible look at a fasinating family
Summary: 5 Stars
This books grabs you from the time you read the first page. Not one living Vanderbilt is a millionair. The book starts with how the first dollar was made down to the almost penniless family it is now. Not only do you see the greed between the families, but also the struggle for social power. If you are interested in any kind of biography, this is the one for you.Book Review: Looking Inside the Gilded Age
Summary: 5 Stars
"Fortune's Children" is a page turner - and an eye opener. Mr. Vanderbilt has done extensive research to document the lives and ambitions of this larger than life, very conflicted family. After visiting Biltmore, I wanted to know more about the family behind the fortune, and this is the book that lays it out - historically, intelligently, fascinatingly. I was only sorry when it ended.
