Newport, Rhode Island is an extraordinary destination! On this tour, you will see and hear about what Thornton Wilder referred to as, “the 9 lives of the city by the sea”! Filled with natural beauty, history, and spectacular architecture, this stop will not disappoint. Start with your day with a drive through the older part of town. For over 100 years, Newport thrived as a British Colony. It’s a great story, and you will see some interesting architecture from that era. From there, head out to experience Newport’s incredible views on the famous Ocean Drive. There is no shortage of things to see and talk about in Newport. Eventually Ocean Drive turns into Bellevue Avenue, where most of the gilded age mansions are located. With your tour guide, you will drive past and discuss many of them, then stop and tour the Breakers, which was once the summer home of Alice and Cornelius Vanderbilt II. The Breakers is the grandest of Newport’s “cottages” and a symbol of the Vanderbilt family’s wealth at the turn of century in America.

  • 2 Silver Squelchers and Their Interesting Associates!
    #2 SILVER SQUELCHERS AND THEIR INTERESTING ASSOCIATES! Presented September 2014 by Charles Savoie “…THE CLANS WHOSE SELFISH ACTIVITIES HAVE TORMENTED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FOR MANY YEARS---THE MEMBERS OF THE POWER MINDED UPPER RULING CLASS THAT SEE EVERYTHING IN TERMS OF THEIR OWN INTERESTS. EVERY REPRESSIVE AND FASCIST TREND IN THE UNITED STATES CAN BE TRACED ON THE RECORD IN SOME WAY, TO THIS RULING CLASS.” ---pages 484 and 513, “America’s 60 Families” by Ferdinand Lundberg, 1937. There is no evidence that Lundberg was aware of The Pilgrims Society. Continuing with number 2 in this series, as we progress towards the present, we will consider another 15 Pilgrims Society members from the leaked 1914 rosters. Unavoidably we will mention others significantly connected to them. Not all members of this nearly unknown organization have been, or are, precious metals suppressors. The organization is concerned with many other spheres---medicine, science, diplomacy, the military and war industries, insurance giants, universities, big media, and far more. This group remains present at this moment behind the scenes and traces to conspirators active in the Crime of ’73, the Panics of 1857 and 1837, both United States Banks, and much more. It can be anticipated that as they were in earlier times the source of precious metals price and monetary suppression, that the ringleaders in this arena today are also members. That’s why it’s important to maintain pressure on them to post rosters to public view. None of the nine rosters from bygone years were voluntarily released. 1) Henry Clews (1836-1923) is described by Wikipedia as having cofounded in 1859 “Livermore, Clews & Company, then the second largest marketer of Federal bonds during the Civil War.” In 1877 he was the principal in Clews & Company.

PREFACE This is a history of the Yanderbilt family, with a record of their vicissitudes, and a chronicle of the method by which their wealth has been acquired. It is confidently put forth as a work which should fall into the hands of boys and young men—of all who aspire to become Cap- tains of Industry or leaders of their fellows in the sharp and wholesome competitions of life. In preparing these pages, the author has had an am- bition, not merely to give a biographical picture of sire, son, and grandsons and descendants, but to consider their relation to society, to measure the significance and the influence of their fortune, to ascertain where their money came from, to inquire whether others are poorer because they are rich, whether they are hindering or promoting civilization, whether they and such as they are impediments to the welfare of the human i-ace.

  • Dear Friends May 2015 After Our Final History Class
    Dear Friends May 2015 After our final history class (which lasted 8 minutes), I hit the road, driving through a hailstorm between Lewisburg and the Virginia line. I’ve never driven through hail before. The rain was very heavy and I suddenly couldn’t see out the windshield with my wipers on “normal.” Quickly turned them to high and slowed down. It was very loud. Had to turn my music up high to hear it. Only lasted 5 minutes. After a 7-hour drive, I met Cousin Maggie at a relative’s house in the mountains near Front Royal, where Maggie left her car. We headed south on I-81, chatting and listening to the music of our youth (Ian & Sylvia, New Christy Minstrels), arriving at Christiansburg, Virginia, as darkness fell. Nice meal at Outback and then settled down at the Hampton next door to rest up for our long weekend adventure. The next morning, we drove the rest of the way to Asheville, arriving an hour before our first scheduled tour -- a self-guided audio tour of Biltmore House. I haven't been here in a very long time, and a lot has changed. I remember parking along the circular drive right in front of the mansion. Now you have to park several miles away and take a shuttlebus. It was as crowded as Disney World. Some background, courtesy of online sources and my notes: Biltmore House, the main house on the estate, is a Châteauesque-styled mansion built by George Washington Vanderbilt II between 1889 and 1895 and is the largest privately owned house in the United States, at 178,926 square feet of floor space (135,280 square feet of living area) and featuring 250 rooms.
