History Channel-The Men Who Built America

[Adisa]

Last evening, I "stumbled" onto the History Channel Series, "The Men Who Built America." 

Very interesting information regarding men such as John D. Rockefeller, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford and J.P. Morgan. 

 After watching the episode involving Andrew Carnegie, I learned of the Homestead Labor Union Strike and the Pinkerton National Detective Agency aka Pinkerton Government Services, Inc.

This is a very important thread and it must be learned if there is ever going to be an understanding about what must be done in order to have a future.

John D. Rockefeller, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford and J.P. Morgan rose from obscurity and in the process built modern America. Their names hang on street signs, are etched into buildings and are a part of the fabric of history. These men created the American Dream and were the engine of capitalism as they transformed everything they touched in building the oil, rail, steel, shipping, automobile and finance industries. Their paths crossed repeatedly as they elected presidents, set economic policies and influenced major events of the 50 most formative years this country has ever known. From the Civil War to the Great Depression and World War I, they led the way. (Excerpt from the History Channels website)

I came across the series and the topic was about the Johnstown Flood. After watching this past Sundays episode of Boardwalk Empire, I decided to learn a little about Andrew W. Mellon a character on the show. After looking into who Andrew W. Mellon was, I learned he held a close connection to the Johnstown Flood.

Looking into the life-stories of these individuals can cause insights to happen that can be of use in your journey as you travel toward your destination.
