Notes: "In 1978, with a nest egg of more than 5 billion dollars, the Mellons were America's richest family. The Mellons is an irreverent, unauthorized, but not unkind account of this family's rise, from the humble circumstances of birth of the dynasty's founder, Judge Thomas Mellon, on a potato farm in Ireland in 1813, to super-opulence through the Gulf Oil Corporation."--Amazon.com, https://www.amazon.com/Mellons-Chronicle-Americas-Richest-Family/dp/0690011903 (viewed December 1, 2017).
