Signed by author on half-title of Volume 1. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Allan Nevins (May 20, 1890-March 5, 1971) was an American historian and journalist, renowned for his extensive work on the history of the Civil War and his biographies of such figures as President Grover Cleveland, Hamilton Fish, Henry Ford, and John D. Rockefeller. In 1929, he joined the history faculty of Columbia University, and in 1931 was named Dewitt Clinton Professor of History there. In 1948 he created the first oral history program to operate on an institutionalized basis in the U.S., which continues as Columbia University's Oral History Research Office. Nevins wrote more than 50 books, mainly political and business history and biography focusing on the nineteenth century. His biography of Grover Cleveland won the 1933 Pulitzer Prize for Biography. "In these volumes a noted historian and biographer has written the full, definitive life of an American whose name is known in every corner of the globe." John Davison Rockefeller Sr. (July 8, 1839-May 23, 1937) was an American business magnate and philanthropist. He was once widely considered the wealthiest American of all time, and the richest person in modern history. Rockefeller founded the Standard Oil Company in 1870. He ran it until 1897, and remained its largest shareholder. Rockefeller's wealth soared as kerosene and gasoline grew in importance, and he became the richest person in the country, controlling 90% of all oil in the United States at his peak. Oil was used throughout the country as a light source until the introduction of electricity, and as a fuel after the invention of the automobile. Furthermore, Rockefeller gained enormous influence over the railroad industry which transported his oil around the country. Standard Oil was the first great business trust in the United States. Rockefeller revolutionized the petroleum industry.
Book condition was far worse than described in the ad. No mention of it being a library book with a library stamp on many places in the book. Torn cover pages, faded cover, not worth the money paid and more than three weeks passed before I received the book.
