Still hashing my way through
The First Tycoon: The Epic Life of Cornelius Vanderbilt.
Was at the book store and spotted it. Opened it up and read a passage about how he had to go against an American who took some friends and invaded then overthrew the Nicaraguan Government which back then was called fillibusting. Was intrigued, quite a life he led, had no clue, don't recall talking much about him at all in School.
