The Early Struggles of John D. Rockefeller
The narrative recounts Rockefeller family moves to Cleveland in 1852, his modest schooling, first job as assistant bookkeeper in 1855, and his frugal habits. It covers his church work, saving to support a struggling parish, and early finance moves including self kept ledgers and steady auditing. Rockefeller forms a partnership with Maurice B. Clark at age 18 to 19, borrowing from his father and a banker to start a commission business. He earns the nickname Mister Rockefeller before 21 and gradually assumes large obligations as he begins, with plants and loans, toward the oil boom era starting in 1859.
