Text Appearing Before Image:
CORNELIUS VAXDERBILT, founder of the House of Vanderbilt, was a linnand staunch friend of the Union, as was shown when he made a gift to the United StatesGovernment of a ship worth $1,000,000. As a large owner of vessels his advice was muchsought after, and President Lincoln had a high regard for him. When CommodoreVanderbilt died, in 1877, he left $100,000,000, which has since been increased to fully$500,000,000. He was born on Staten Island in 1794, and was a factor in the developmentof the railroad system of the East. (495)
Text Appearing After Image:
ALLAN PINKERTON, in many respects the greatest, shrewdest and most successfuldetective the world has known, accompanied President Lincoln from Springfield, Illinois,to Washington in February, 1861. The safety of the person of the President-elect was inhis care, and it would have been an impossibility for an assassin to have harmed Mr.Lincoln, Pinkertons watchful eyes being upon all who approached. The agency he estab-lished is noted for the thorough manner in which it runs down criminals, its roguesgallery is the most complete ever made. Mr. Pinkerton was born in Scotland in 1819,and died in 1884. (496)
