This is a good book (available on audio) about some of the key players of the industrial era. Rockerfella, Vanderbilt, Carnegie, Morgan etc. absolute wild times. 
This one is about the oil industry which started in the late 1900’s and has a section on JD Rockefeller and Standard Oil. (I’ve not finished this one yet)
