Great write-up, really piqued my interest in Rockefeller. Any good reads you can recommend?

I read Titan. Interestingly, it documents how SO's market share was declining steadily throughout the anti-trust trial, and Rockefeller was unable to stop it.

It runs against the conventional story of SO being an inevitable monopoly.

Thanks. The Prize by Daniel Yergin isn't bad either.

The documentary series "The Men Who Built America" is a really well done overview of some of these guys.

The problem with these american HC documentaries is that they are employ certain stylistic means which make them impossible to watch for me.

I wish this was on Netflix streaming. I find this type of history really appealing.
