When the Astors Owned New York: Blue Bloods and Grand Hotels in a Gilded Age

This newest book by Pulitzer Prize winner Kaplan is a sparkling combination of biography, social history, architectural appreciation, and pure pleasure, as he looks at the Astor familys dynasty and its contributions to the city of New York.
