WHITNEY, Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt [61] pp. Maple Hill Press, Inc. 1977 8 1/4" x 5 5/8" The legend of the potato chip being inspired by 19th-century railroad and shipping magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt was meant to sell more chips.

The following year, Whitney, wife of Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney, grabbed onto the legend and made it the centerpiece of her ball, the glittering gala she hosted annually to usher in the Whitney Stakes at the Saratoga Race Course. The New York Times covered the party, writing the potato chip theme was as legitimate as could be, because according to Mrs. Whitney, her husband s great-great-grandfather was responsible for the potato chip.
