本の内容
Picture an old man, known around the world for oil and money, pushing small stakes into a hillside at dusk to mark where a road should curve. John D. Rockefeller does exactly this at Pocantico Hills, and he is proud of it.
He wrote Reminiscences in 1909, after he had left active business. Many of his capable partners had been painted as wrongdoers, and he decided to speak while he could still testify.

A boy learns thrift from ledgers and turkeys
Rockefeller says he owes his father a great deal, because his father taught him the principles and methods of business. From early childhood the boy kept a small account book he calls Ledger A. It records his income, his spending, and the small sums he was taught to give away.
His first real business is turkeys. At seven or eight he raises them with curds his mother gives him from the milk, and he sells them all. Because he pays no costs, everything he takes in is profit, and he keeps his records carefully. His mother is strict and uses a birch switch to hold the family standard.
At sixteen he studies bookkeeping in Cleveland, then walks the streets for weeks asking for work. On September 26, 1855, a man on the docks tells him to come back after the noon meal, and he is hired by Hewitt & Tuttle. There he checks every plumber's bill item by item, because his approval releases his employer's money. Small figures deserve respect, and careful checking is a form of loyalty.
Early practice with honest records and small duties is the best schooling for large ones.

『Random Reminiscences of Men and Events』についての質問
What is Random Reminiscences of Men and Events about?
It is John D. Rockefeller's informal memoir, written in 1909. He recalls his boyhood, early jobs, partners, the growth of Standard Oil, his ore business, and his ideas on giving money away.
Who are Flagler, Archbold and Gates in the book?
Henry M. Flagler was an early partner who later built a railroad down Florida's east coast. John D. Archbold was a Standard Oil leader, and Frederick T. Gates ran Rockefeller's ore business and later his philanthropy.
What was the Backus case Rockefeller writes about?
Mrs. Backus sold selected assets of her late husband's lubricating oil company to Standard Oil in 1878 and later felt cheated. Rockefeller prints letters and sworn statements from people on her side of the sale to show it was fair.
Is Random Reminiscences easy to read?
It reads like a friendly conversation. The chapters are short, the language is plain, and the stories are anecdotes about people, trees, boats and banks, so you can pick it up anywhere.
What is the main message of the book?
Rockefeller argues that success rests on honest books, fair dealing and cooperation, and that wealth is best used when it is organized and studied to help people help themselves.
