John Jacob Astor. Cornelius Vanderbilt. Andrew Carnegie. John D.
Rockefeller. Henry Ford. Joseph P. Kennedy. Even today, long after
their deaths, the names of these six men continue to be associated
with wealth and power. When they were alive, they dominated their
worlds as few men had done before, and few have done since. These
are the life stories of six of the richest men who ever lived in
America. Their lives offer us windows into ways of life for over
two centuries that most of us can only imagine - an opportunity to
glimpse times when laws, attitudes, prejudices, and opportunities
were very different from today. Their achievements - financial,
political, and social - continue to affect us to this day, for good
or ill. Additionally, their mistakes still offer important lessons
about the acquisition, use, and abuse of wealth and power. And had
they not lived, the history of America - and the world - might have
been very different indeed.
