When we think of industrialists we always remember Carnegie, Rockefeller & Vanderbilt, (just ask the History Channel) but you might not think of the Duke family. Father started the business and his son took it to new heights.
Here is a BBC article about James B. Duke (who was also known as Buck) and here's a video from the Duke Endowement about their namesake. As a Durhamite I realize the importance of this family to the community, but as a Tar Heel I have no official comment!
