"Having left this material for his writer son, my father must have wanted the story told, even if he couldn't bear to tell it himself." So begins the multigenerational story of a forgotten American dynasty, a farming family from the bean fields of southern New Jersey that became as wealthy, glamorous and powerful as Gilded Age aristocrats. The autocratic patriarch, C. F. Seabrook, was hailed as the "Henry Ford of agriculture". His son Jack, a keen businessman, was poised to take over what Life called "the biggest vegetable factory on earth."
