I really enjoyed it when it was 1st aired. I knew about the oil and steel industry, I did not know much about the start of the US electrical power industry.

Yep watching.....I never knew that Andrew Carnegie hated John D Rockafeller.
I thought the first ep with Vanderbuilt was the best one so far but its a good series.

He funded libraries as well. The one in my hometown had a big smiling/scowling portrait of him on the wall.
