Currently reading autobiography of Chauncy M Depew, 19th century GOP senator and railroad boss.
A friend's father used to own a paddlewheel steamship called the Chauncy M Depew, that he wanted to restore into a restaurant. He was a noted public speaker, knew everyone from Lincoln to Roosevelt to Queen Victoria. Some of his jokes seem a little dry 100 years later, but it's a good read.
