I recently read some
biographies of XIX century American magnates both to get a better feel for the
period and to hopefully learn something useful. There was a small problem though. Their lives were so
parallel on some areas that I began
confusing parts of them around. So, to sort things out I made an outline by
year and here it is for anyone to use. Some events might be off by a year.
Sources are Andrew Carnegie by Nasaw, Titan by Chernow, The Great Pierpont Morgan by Lewis Allen, The First Tycoon by Stiles, Dark Genius of Wall Street by Renehan and Mellon by Cannadine. The two books that I enjoyed best were
Nasaw's and Cannadine's in that order.
