Fun series, though I do think they bought into Carengie's BS about Frick. Carnegie needed Frick to be the hardass, particularly in regards to the Homestead strike. Carnegie blamed Frick for everything when really, he was willfully out of the loop, even leaving the country during the strike to give Frick a free hand to do what he does.
Frick was the only one who had no illusions about what he really was. He is, by far, the most fascinating of all of the Captains of Industry. He built an empire on blood, but he never lied to himself about it. Carengie was full of crap, which is why he tried to buy his way into heaven.

Agree. Also i never heard of jake scott. They portray him as a decent man. Sad how he died.

Carnegie was full of crap and was a total coward. Let Frick do the things he was too chicken to do to advance the company. What a load of crap that he was a caring owner. He went to Scotland to bury his head in the sand. He was the one guy in this series that I had very little respect for.
