2 Feb 1859 Jahr - John D. Rockefeller

Beschreibung:

He took advantage of the loophole in the Union draft law by purchasing a substitute to avoid military service. When EDWIN DRAKE discovered oil in 1859 in Titusville, Pennsylvania, Rockefeller saw the future. He slowly sold off his other interests and became convinced that refining oil would bring him great wealth.
