Cornelius Vanderbilt
v. born May 27, 1794, Port Richmond, Staten Island, N.Y., U.S. died Jan. 4, 1877, New York, N.Y. U.S. shipping and railroad magnate. He began a passenger ferry business in New York harbour in 1810 with one boat; he added several others during the War of 1812 in order to supply government outposts. He sold his boats to work as a steamship captain (1818-29), then started his own steamship company on the Hudson River. By cutting fares and offering luxurious accommodations, he soon controlled the river traffic. He then provided transportation along the eastern seacoast. By 1846 he was a millionaire. He formed the Accessory Transit Co. to transport passengers and freight from New York to the California gold fields via Nicaragua. He again undercut his competitors, and they bought him out at a high price (1858). Turning to railroads, he acquired controlling stock in the New York and Harlem Railroad. After losing a battle for control of the Erie Railroad (1868), he bought and consolidated the Hudson River and the New York Central railroads (1869). After buying the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad (1873), he provided the first rail service between New York and Chicago. At his death, he had a fortune of more than $100 million, the largest sum accumulated in the U.S. to that date. He gave $1 million to Central University (later Vanderbilt University). He left almost all the rest to his son William H. Vanderbilt (1821-85), who greatly expanded the New York Central network, acquired other railroads, and doubled the family fortune

Lucius Cornelius Sulla
born 138 died 79 BC, Puteoli, near Naples Victor in the Roman civil war (88-82) and dictator (82-79). He fought alongside Gaius Marius against Jugurtha, whose capture through Sulla's trickery led to a break with Marius. After being made consul, he was given command in the war against Mithradates VI; when Marius was named to replace him, he marched on Rome, and Marius fled. Though he succeeded in subduing Mithradates, the reigning popular party declared him a public enemy. From southern Italy he marched again successfully on Rome (83). Proclaimed dictator with no time limit (at which time he took the name Felix, "Lucky"), he reestablished the power of the Senate, increased the number of criminal courts, and passed new treason and citizen-protection laws, but he became chiefly known for his ruthlessness. He resigned in 79 and died that year
