- dwwoelfel 15y agoStudy in Power by Allan Nevins is a great biography of Rockefeller. E.H. Harriman by George Kennan is very good. It's also available on Google books (http://books.google.com/books?id=4fcZAAAAYAAJ http://books.google.com/books?id=4fcZAAAAYAAJ). If you haven't heard of Harriman, I encourage you to read about him. He is the epitome of the the 19th century industrialist. When he's not taking over railroads, he's out on scientific expeditions to Alaska, or squeezing shorts on the stock market, or hunting, or boxing, or playing pranks on his overly cocky Wall Street friends.
