SUMMARY:Great Fortunes Of The Gilded Age (Andrew Carnegie)
DESCRIPTION:During the Gilded Age\, America saw a handful of families dominate the economy with staggering fortunes. \nIf I asked you to name the richest American\, you’d probably say Bill Gates or Sam Walton.  Both are from the top of the list! \nAt one time\, Andrew Carnegie was the richest man in the world. Then he gave away 90% of his fortune! He founded Carnegie Mellon University and his name is still attached to funding for arts programs across the USA.  How did he earn that money and what did he do with it? How did this tiny Scot invent “scientific philanthropy” – and how did he become the terror of the business world – forcing even the richest men in America to capitulate to him? Was the horrendous death toll of the Johnstown Flood his fault? Did he authorize the massive beatings of his employees when they asked for a raise? With rare video clips\, intriguing insights and fascinating biographical details\, the controversial and compelling life of Andrew Carnegie will take shape before your eyes. \nThis multi-week series examines the great fortunes  of that fascinating era.  We will attempt to put each into perspective and offer intriguing insights\, modern comparisons and historical context for each. Of the nine wealthiest Americans\, six lived during the Gilded Age! \n# 2: Vanderbilt \n#3: Astor \n#4: Girard \n#5: Gates \n#6: Carnegie \n#7: Stewart \n#8 Weyerhaeuser \n#9 Gould \nCOST \nI ask for a voluntary donation of $5.00.

SUMMARY:Milton Berle - Uncle Miltie The First TV Superstar
DESCRIPTION:The Story Of Uncle Miltie The First TV Superstar\n \nHe was known to one and all as simply: “Uncle Miltie.” Today we explore the long life and unparalleled career of the one and only Mr. Television – Milton Berle! He was the very first superstar of American TV! His ratings were so astronomical that it is said restaurants\, clubs\, and bowling alleys closed early because everybody wanted to be home in front of their TV when the Milton Berle show was on the air! \nFor a few unforgettable\, whacky years\, “Uncle Miltie” brought low-brow burlesque\, mock hecklers\, a crazy series of running gags\, and a memorable penchant for dressing in drag to the earliest days of American television. His amazing career and unique\, unbelievable personal story will come to life through hilarious film clips and intriguing insights and stories. \nCOST \nI ask for a voluntary donation of $5.00.
