Quote of the Day: History Channel's 'The Men Who Built America's' Error

Quote of the Day:

Ron Chernow

"The biggest plum they dangled before Devereux was a promise to supply the Lake Shore with an astonishing sixty carloads of refined oil daily."-They being Rockefeller and his business partner.

According to the History Channel's series the men who negotiated the deal for sixty carloads was Rockefeller, Vanderbilt and Vanderbilt's son.  Make's you wonder what else they were inaccurate about.  Never trust, but always confirm!
