Abby Aldrich Rockefeller
Mary Ellen Chase
Mary Ellen Chase. Abby Aldrich Rockefeller
personal portrait of the wife of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., joyfull, unpredictable, animated Abby Rockefeller, this permits the intrusion of no frailty, subdues the background of Legendary wealth with New England severity, and is almost suspect in its perfection. At any rate, she is shown as a young girl; in her later courtship by John D. -- serious, shy and very deliberate; as the mother of six children- and a very nice mother she was; as a hostess and a participant in public affairs; as an enthusiast for modern art- she helped to found New York's Museum of Modern Art; and as a person of many interest and liberal impulses which never disturbed the serenity of her marriage. Mary Ellen Chase's name will extend the interest here. --Kirkus review

God's Gold: The Story of Rockefeller and His Time
John T. Flynn
John T. Flynn. God's Gold: The Story of Rockefeller and His Time
In 1932, John T. Flynn had begun to rethink his old-style "progressivism" to develop intellectually into a defender of markets as against the regimentation of government management. A first product of these steps is this classic and extraordinary full biography of John D. Rockefeller. In this highly sympathetic portrayal, Flynn shows how Rockefeller employed the tools of capitalism to become enormously rich in the service of others, and how this unleashed the most unexpected backlash from anti-capitalists of all sorts, culminating in the breakup of Standard Oil. He saw that this was done at the behest of Rockefeller's competition, and not in the public interest. It was the first and probably still the best biography of an American original.- Mises Institute review

Sketches in Crude Oil
John J. McLaurin
McLaurin, John. Sketches in Crude Oil: Some Accidents and Incidents of the Petroleum Development in All Parts of the Globe, 1896
"Life is too short to compile a book that would cover the subject fully, hence this work is not a detailed history of the great petroleum development. Nor is it a mere collection of dry facts and figures, set forth to show that the oil business is a pretty big enterprise. But it is a sincere endeavor to print something regarding petroleum, based largely upon personal observation, which may be worth saving from oblivion. The purpose is to give the busy outside world, by anecdote and incident and brief narration, a glimpse of the grandest industry of the ages and of the men chiefly responsible for its origin and growth. Many of the portraits and illustrations, nearly all of them now presented for the first time, will be valuable mementos of individuals and localities that have passed from mortal sight forever. If the reader shall find that “within is more of relish than of cost” the writer of these “Sketches” will be amply satisfied." - Introduction
