Title: Fascinating!
Product review: A fascinating history of one of America's wealthiest families, from the formation of a fabulous fortune to the sad demise less than 100 years later; leaving the reader to ponder...."what if....?" The author describes the character of his ancestors, in what appears to be an honest, matter-of-fact way, seemingly without prejudice or partiality, which helps the reader to understand why certain branches of the family tree developed or withered the way they did. The author also describes in fascinating detail, the opulent wealth this family possessed, and the mansions, social circles, and life-style that went with it! It is so sad that the family could not have worked together to better manage their inheritances; and that many of the beautiful homes this wealth afforded were shamelessly demolished! Beautifully and thoughtfully written!
