Cornelius Vanderbilt I had no illusions about his life.
The times he lived through and contribu.
When all was said and done, though, he was a simple man who pushed the world of transportation to be all it could be--to be what it is today.
He worked hard and played hard.
He worked sixteen hours a day, seven days a week.
He merely stepped in this world one foot at a time, one boat at a time, one market at a time--one day at a time.
He didn\'t start out with grand plans and ungodly greed.
