Synopsis
Excerpt from A Study of John D. Rockefeller: The Wealthiest Man in the World
My motives in the preparation of this book are entirely philanthropic, and are prompted by the spontaneous and universal sentiments of justice, natural to the human heart, and were immediately provoked by unkind reflections, and falsehood concerning the worthy and honored citizen of my home city.
