Great documentary series on the History Channel, catch it if you get a chance:

In a series that traces the changing face of wealth and its relationship to power, Part 2 spotlights America's captains of industry and fortune builders including the Astors, Carnegies, and Rockefellers, who ruled in a largely unregulated 19th century economic environment and wielded raw political power.
They do pass over a few things on a few of the people that they cover, for example that John Jacob Astor ws an opium trader, but overall its a good series.
