Vanderbilts and the early steamship monopoly in New York
The article traces Cornelius Vanderbilt's early role in infringing a New York steam navigation monopoly, citing Chief Justice Marshall's decision on Gibbon v Ogden and the 1798 Livingston grant. It links the Vanderbilt family to a long pattern of challenging federal and state control over "fire and steam" navigation, noting Fulton, Livingston, and Jefferson's era as context. It notes a Roosevelt connection and the broader impact on inland navigation amid embargo-era politics.
