When Rogers Lost Money in Wall Street

The late Henry H. Rogers, a principal force behind Standard Oil, saw a fortune once valued over 100 million shrink after the 1907 Brook slump. He reportedly owned 14 million in Standard Oil stock at his death, with losses possibly exceeding 20 million in 1907.
