Primary Sources: "The Agitator" A newspaper from Wellsboro, PA dated Wed. Nov. 21, 1906 "Wellsboro Gazette" A newspaper dated Thur. June 29, 1911 Poem written by Rockefeller featured in The New York Times dated May 24, 1937 Newspaper article from the New York Times dated Feb. 18, 1992 The American Magazine dated Nov. 1910- April 1911 Famous Living Americans 1915 Initial Outline: I. Intro- How was John D. Rockefeller negatively portrayed in the media in the late 1800's to early 1900's and in the present? II. Historical Context -. Who: John D. Rockefeller Sr. Where: US When: late 1800's to early 1900's to present day What: JD Rockefeller was a large stake holder in the Standard Oil Company, was known for creating the monopoly, first person to ever be worth 1 billion dollars. III. Inferences -What are the three inferences you are making to answer your question? a) Inference 1: provide evidence from your primary sources b) Inference 2: provide evidence from your primary sources c) Inference 3: provide evidence from your primary sources d) Corroborating-What are the similarities and differences you see across the sources IV. Conclusion -Summarize/restate your question and your inferences.

Thought process while writing: Can I find some more political cartoons depicting JDR? Where can I find them? Are they portraying him negatively? How would "the people" be seeing JDR while viewing these images? Do they want him for fail? yes... public outcry begins I don't want to write about public outcry because this paper is about how JDR was portrayed in the media. So I will address the public outcry but I won't go into detail.

10/17/2013 Paul Harvey rough draft 10/3/2013 Inquiry- Paul Harvey- The irony that I see in my question: which is "how was John D. Rockefeller, Sr. negatively portrayed in the media?" is that even though he was so negatively portrayed by the media he did so much good for the American economy in the late 1800's - early 1900's. He created jobs, he created a booming business, he basically created the monopoly of businesses. He was an amazing business man.
