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.

Overtly bias portrayals to an extent that it becomes celebratory in nature. While I can understand the need to do so, it has become so ingrained that it is impossible find any historically objective documentary that allows viewers to understand the mindset of the period.

Thanks. So, hagiographic? Or just plain biased.

Something that's difficult to tell from HN's default 'threads' view :(

Thanks for the heads-up.

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