Description
No time to read? Get the main key insights from this summary of Ron Chernow’s Titan in just a short listen.
A few key insights from Chapter 1:
1. The most extensive quest for John D. Rockefeller’s ancestors leads to a ninth-century French family known as the Roquefeuilles, who supposedly lived in a castle.
2. The German lineage of the Rockefellers, on the other hand, can be traced back to the early 1600s in the Rhine valley.
3. Johann Peter Rockefeller, a miller, gathered his wife and five children in 1723 and sailed to Philadelphia. He settled on a farm in Somerville and then Amwell, New Jersey, where he prospered and amassed significant landholdings.
4. His descendant John Davison Rockefeller, the son of William and Eliza Rockefeller, was born in 1839 in upstate New York. The family had to live a frugal lifestyle, in a small house made of hand-hewn beams and timbers.
