This is a good book about the Vanderbilt patriarch.
When I lived in Nashville, it was always rumored that they were heavily involved in the prohibition era trafficking, but that could easily be blown out of proportion. Perhaps their extensive transportation network was used for trafficking without their involvement. Or... Maybe all of the trafficking money went directly to the illuminati fund[emoji857]
