About this ebook
This book takes us back to nineteenth-century America and discusses the Industrial Revolution and how people like Vanderbilt, Edison, and Rockefeller made their fortunes. It also gives a comprehensive survey of the United States, at the end of the Civil War, that would reveal a state of society that bears little resemblance to that of today. Almost all those commonplace fundamentals of existence, the things that contribute to our bodily comfort while they vex us with economic and political problems, had not yet made their appearance. The America of Civil War days was a country without transcontinental railroads, telephones, European cables, wireless stations, automobiles, electric lights, sky-scrapers, million-dollar hotels, trolley cars, or a thousand other contrivances that today supply the conveniences and comforts of what we call our American civilization.
