The Inventor and the Tycoon: The Murderer Eadweard Muybridge, the Entrepreneur Leland Stanford, and the Birth of Moving Pictures by Edward Ball

4.0

This reminded me of The Professor and the Madman. It is a fascinating story about the lives of both Stanford and Muybridge. *spoiler alert* But it is also presents a warning since it seems neither of these men of great deeds ended up happy - not even with each other. The very traits that drive them to success drive them away from others.
