No one likes to believe that America has its own aristocracy, but the families described in this narrative share how these American families climbed the social ladder and their resulting legacies. Approached from a historical lens, learn about the great and influential families, their rise and sometimes their fall, including the following families: Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, Ford, Getty, Hearst, Morgan, Astor, Coors, Adams, Kennedy, Nampeyo, Wyeth, Carter, and Barrymore
"In American Dynasties Rachel Dickinson delivers a proper primer on a sampling of the funneling of talent - and often luck - through the generations of oligarchs and artists. Missteps get repeated, but often so do successes. The unpredictable nature of American society, according to Dickinson, makes it so there is no consistent playbook. " --Robert Strauss, author of "Worst. President. Ever. " and "Final Founder: John Marshall. "
