Yet behind the fast-and-furious pace, the Mid-Atlantic region’s rich and distinguished history continues both to inform its ever-shifting present and to shape the future. This is the story of industrial empires like those of the Carnegie, du Pont and Vanderbilt families; and of immigrants who were beckoned by the welcoming torch of the Statue of Liberty.
