Description: Title: AstorAuthors: Anderson Cooper & Katherine HoweFormat: HardcoverGenre: Biography, HistoryCondition: Used - GoodDescription:The story of the Astors is a quintessentially American story—of ambition, invention, destruction, and reinvention. From 1783, when German immigrant John Jacob Astor first arrived in the United States, until 2009, when Brooke Astor’s son, Anthony Marshall, was convicted of defrauding his elderly mother, the Astor name occupied a unique place in American society. The family fortune, first made by a beaver trapping business that grew into an empire, was then amplified by holdings in Manhattan real estate. Over the ensuing generations, Astors ruled Gilded Age New York society and inserted themselves into political and cultural life but also suffered the most famous loss on the Titanic, one of many shocking and unexpected twists in the family’s story.Note: This hardcover edition is in used but in good condition but with light wear that does not affect its readability.
