I love learning more about history and recently found a great History Channel series on Netflix that gave me a new perspective on our countries first tycoons at the beginning of the industrialized age; Cornelius Vanderbilt, John D. Rockefeller, Carnegie,  J.P. Morgan and Henry Ford.

What is unique about the movie is their use of archival footage and interviews with historians and current moguls. It gives you a clear picture and understanding of the men who helped create modern day capitalism.

You can watch all four episodes on Netflix and you might want to watch them twice just to make sure you get all the facts straight.
