When learning about U.S. History, it seems that the narrative is that of the executive office. What historians have done the most admirable work documenting Congressional History?

I would love to learn about the most pivotal and powerful floor speeches. What are considered the most important votes that have changed the tide of history? Greatest filibusters? How have the rules of the Senate and the House evolved over time? What were the most powerful congresses and what were the weakest?

Robert Caro in his bio of LBJ's days in the senate in Master of the Senate does a great job of documenting what things were like in the 1950s.
