Then, as we all know, the DOJ's Anti-trust case, as well as an overall meltdown in the high-technology market, hurt the Harvard dropout. Today, with a $60 billion fortune, Gates is both hated and loved. Unlike many, he has promised to contribute over 90% of his wealth to charities when the big guy calls his number. We hope this will not be anytime soon, as he and his wife Melinda French Gates run the world's largest philanthropic association. 4. John Jacob Astor (1763-1848) $85 billion Adjusted for time, Astor, "the Self-Made Money-Making Machine's" fortune would rank at roughly $85 billion in 2001. Despite never setting a trap himself, the German-born Astor became synonymous with the American Fur Trade. Along many others, Astor symbolizes the American Dream, as he rose from obscurity to financial success. 3. Cornelius Vanderbilt (1794-1877) $100 billion

CARPATHO-RUTHENICA IN THE SLAVIC AND BALTIC DIVISION OF THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY AND ITS SLAVIC AND BALTIC DIVISION The idea of creating the New York Public Library developed in 1895, when the library of John Jacob Astor (1763-1848), which included a great number of rare books, was unified with the library of James Lenox (1800-1880). A donation of 15,000 volumes from the library of Samuel Jones Tilden (1814-1886), together with $2,000, 000 for the new library, made the foundation possible. In 1901, eleven public libraries from all over the city joined The New York Public Library, Astor, Lenox and Tilden Foundation. The first site of the Library (Lower Manhattan) soon turned out to be too small and necessitated construction of new home for the Library (completed 1911). The building, which is a national landmark, was located at the corner of 5th Avenue and 42nd Street. The main reading room of the Library can accommodate 800 people. The New York Public Library is a private institution which serves readers on a non-paying basis. It is responsible for operating of 4 research centers (with 39 million items, including 12 million books) and 82 branch libraries (10,5 million items, including 5,9 million books) and is governed by a 43-member Board of Trustees. The Research Libraries depend heavily on private contributions. The Branch Libraries are primarily supported by the City and State of New York. The acquisition of materials is done in a variety of ways. The library mostly buys (sometimes also exchanges) books. The growth of the collection is also a direct result of valuable gifts.

Last Modified: by Webmaster Historical Chautauqua Characters Meriwether Lewis (1774-1809) A Virginian and Army captain, Meriwether Lewis became President Jefferson's private secretary in 1801. Under Jefferson's direction, Lewis planned an exploration of a route west to the Pacific coast of North America. In addition to command of the Corps of Discovery, as the group was called, Lewis served as the party's naturalist. On the expedition, he collected plant, animal and mineral specimens. Lewis died by his own hand in 1809. Portrayed by Clay Jenkinson William Clark (1770-1838) Meriwether Lewis invited William Clark, also an army captain, to serve as the co-leader of the expedition. In addition to sharing command, Clark also had record-keeping duties. Especially important were the maps he created of the party's route. After Lewis' death, Clark became responsible for the publication of the expedition's journals. After the expedition, Clark held several public offices in St. Louis, including Superintendant of Indian Affairs. Portrayed by Brian Kral George Drouillard (born ca. 1775; died ca. 1810)

New York, Jan/Feb 2002 The World Economic Forum (WEF) is an exclusive, un-elected, invite-only organization; it is a 'think tank' and a driving force behind the global economy. Incorporated since 1971 as a foundation, the WEF claims to be "independent, impartial and not-for-profit, tied to no political, partisan or national interests." It has a consultative status with the United Nations. Members include: 1000 CEOs from the world's largest multi-national corporations. Academics, trade-ministers, heads of state, and elite media representatives may also attend by exclusive invitation. To become a member of the 'club', a corporation must have assets of over $1 billion (U.S.) and must pay the current annual membership fees (26500 Swiss Francs = about $25,000 Can.). To become a 'sponsor' - which means getting to have a say in writing the agenda of the meeting - corporations and individuals must pay $250,000 US (see: Where the great, the good and the angry converge

Germans in America - Chronology Several Germans were among the settlers at Jamestown. Peter Minuit, a German, came to New Amsterdam to serve as the governor of the Dutch colony, New Netherlands. Later he governed the Swedish colony in Delaware. Thirteen families of German Mennonites seeking religious freedom arrived in Pennsylvania; led by Franz Pastorius, they purchased 43,000 acres of land and founded Germantown, six miles north of Philadelphia. The settling of the British colonies by small German-speaking religious groups continued. The groups included Swiss Mennonites, Baptist Dunkers, Schwenkfelders, Moravians, Amish, and Waldensians; most German immigrants belonged to the main Lutheran and Reformed churches. The central colonies received the greatest part of this immigration, especially Pennsylvania. As many as half of these immigrants came as redemptioners, that is, they agreed to work in America for four to seven years in exchange for free passage across the Atlantic. German settlers designed and built the Conestoga wagon, which was used in the opening of the American Frontier. Protestants were expelled from Salzburg, Austria, in this year. They subsequently founded Ebenezer, Georgia.

Part 2: Editorial Note [This item added to Web November, 1995.] General Introduction Several North American colonial cities trace their early development almost exclusively to the fur trade. Quebec, Albany, and Montreal were first. These cities set the stage for international competition between French, Spanish, Dutch, Russian, and English fur traders. In 1764, at the conclusion of the French and Indian War, another important city was founded near the strategic junction of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers. This city, Saint Louis, became the "gateway to the West." It also served as the residence and the business headquarters for entrepreneurs eager to tap the resources of a vast hinterland to the north, west, and south. Within the commercial and social milieux dominated primarily by French families with roots in Europe, French-Canada, and in the lower Mississippi Valley, the Chouteaus became the leading family of St. Louis. Their business papers, now permanently housed at the Missouri Historical Society in St. Louis,.have been microfilmed under the general title
