The Men Who Built America
Meet the titans of industry who forged the foundations of a modern America and
continue to inspire the pursuit of the fabled American Dream. In this epic
mini-series, HISTORY shines a spotlight on the influential builders, dreamers
and believers whose feats of enterprise during the Gilded Age transformed the
United States from a nation reeling the Civil War into the greatest economic and
technological powerhouse in the world. From oil baron John D. Rockefeller,
transport tycoon Cornelius Vanderbilt and steel magnate Andrew Carnegie, to
automotive pioneer Henry Ford and corporate financier J.P. Morgan, The Men Who
Built America tells the story of a nation at the crossroads, and of the people
who catapulted it to prosperity.

who set forth across the treacherous frontier to help build America. This four
part documentary series features pioneers such as Daniel Boone, Lewis and Clark,

The Cars That Made America
The epic stories of the men under the hood who rose to fame and fortune and the
losers who crashed and burned on the race to glory. One machine would create
empires, destroy lives, divide us and unite us. An idea that would change
everything. The automobile steered America at every turn throughout modern
history, but the stories of those behind the wheel are not what the world has
seen. From the start of the engine to today – it's shadowy legends hold
titans and devils, genius and failure, with one constant – the automobile has
influenced us at every turn.
