History Channel’s The Men Who Built America
This looks like it’s going to be a great series. On Tuesday October 16 the History Channel premieres The Men Who Built America. It’s a series about the great tycoons of the 19th century: Rockefeller, Carnegie, Vanderbilt, Morgan, and more. It will use actors to dramatize events. I look forward to it.
I also recommend the western series Hell on Wheels for anyone interested in this period because one of the key characters in it is the man who built the eastern half of the transcontinental railroad, Thomas ‘Doc’ Durant. For anyone interested in reading about these characters, I recommend The Robber Barons.
