Tarbell, Ida Minerva. History of the Standard oil company. [**]$5. McClure.
An account of the origin, growth, and influence of this first and greatest of American trusts. The methods by which the corporation gained control of the petroleum output are disclosed, railroad and other interests bearing upon the trust’s development are carefully investigated. The oil regions themselves and the chief characters in this industrial drama are put vividly before us.
“‘The history of the Standard oil company’ is one of the most important contributions that has been made to the vital historical and conscience literature of our opening century. The absorbing interest of the work, the masterly marshaling of facts and the careful handling of details are only surpassed by the judicial spirit that is preëminent throughout the work.”
