Book
Iron empires : robber barons, railroads, and the making of modern America / Michael Hiltzik.
In 1869, when the final spike was driven into the transcontinental railroad, few were prepared for its seismic aftershocks. The ensuing, vicious competition between empire builders such as Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jay Gould, J. P. Morgan, and E. H. Harriman sparked stock market frenzies, panics, and crashes; provoked strikes that upended the relationship between management and labor; transformed the nation's geography; and culminated in a ferocious two-man battle that shook America's financial market to their foundations and produced dramatic, lasting changes in the interplay of business and government.
