  • Henry Huttleston Rogers (January 29, 1840 – May 19, 1909) was an American industrialist and financier. He made his fortune in the oil refining business, becoming a leader at Standard Oil. He also played a major role in numerous corporations and business enterprises in the gas industry, copper, and railroads. He became a close friend of Mark Twain. Rogers' success in the oil industry began with Charles Pratt in 1866, when he invented an improved process by which naphtha was separated from crude oil during oil refining. John D. Rockefeller bought his and Pratt's business in 1874, and Rogers rose rapidly in Standard Oil. He designed the idea of a very long pipeline for transporting oil, as opposed to using railway cars. In the 1880s, he broadened his interests beyond oil to include copper, steel, banking, and railroads, as well as the Consolidated Gas Company that provided coal gas to major cities. By the 1890s, as Rockefeller was withdrawing from the oil business, Rogers was a dominant figure at Standard Oil. In 1899, Rogers set up the Amalgamated Copper trust, based in Butte, Montana, that dominated an industry in high demand as the nation needed wire to build its electric networks. His last major enterprise was building the Virginian Railway to service the West Virginia coal fields. After 1890, he became a prominent philanthropist, as well as a friend and supporter of Mark Twain and Booker T. Washington. His biographer states: A strange dualism characterized Rogers. Pitiless in business deals, in his personal affairs he was warm and generous, and at sixty, according to Tarbell, "by all odds, the handsomest and most distinguished figure in Wall Street." ...Rogers delighted in outwitting his contemporaries and in exercising power that comes from great wealth. However, he flourished just as the Gilded Age was giving way to the Progressive Era, and therefore his drive to power was frustrated by reforms and changes to more acceptable management styles that the twentieth century was ushering in.

  • Henry Huttleston Rogers (29 janvier 1840 - 19 mai 1909) est un capitaliste, homme d'affaires et industriel du pétrole (Standard Oil), financier et philanthrope américain. Spécialiste de l'huile d’éclairage, il fut d'abord l'associé de Charles Pratt puis, comme lui, devint l'un des principaux actionnaires de la Standard Oil. Rogers venait de mettre au point une colonne de distillation permettant d'extraire le naphtalène du pétrole brut lorsqu'en 1866, il fit la connaissance de Charles Pratt, grossiste en huile d'éclairage, qui se l'associa. En 1874, à la suite du scandale de South Improvement Co., John D. Rockefeller offrit à Pratt et Rogers de rejoindre le capital de la Standard Oil. Rogers s'imposa comme l'un des principaux ingénieurs de la compagnie : il conçut l'idée d'acheminer le pétrole brut par conduite forcée (pipeline), plutôt que par wagons-citernes. Dans les années 1880, il diversifia ses investissements, achetant des actions sur les mines de cuivre, la sidérurgie, la banque, le chemin de fer et surtout l'industrie du gaz de charbon avec Consolidated Gas Company. Lorsque, dans les années 1890, Rockefeller se retira de la direction de la Standard Oil, Rogers en devint l'un des directeurs. En 1899, Rogers, il mit sur pied un trust : Amalgamated Copper, qui prit une part dominante sur le marché des câbles électriques. Sa dernière entreprise fut la desserte des mines de charbon de Virginie Occidentale par la . Vers 1890, il se lança dans la philanthropie, et se lia d'amitié avec les écrivains Mark Twain et Booker T. Washington. « C’est un homme double que Rogers. Intraitable en affaires, il se montre affable et même généreux en privé ; à soixante ans, il est, selon Ida Tarbell, à tous égards l'homme le plus élégant et le personnage le plus distingué de Wall Street (...) Rogers se délectait de « rouler » ses contemporains et de jouir de toute l'autorité que confère la fortune ; néanmoins, il n'atteignit les sommets qu'au moment où l’âge d'or des self made men le cédait à l'ère progressiste, de sorte que ses appétits de puissance se heurtèrent aux réformes sociales et aux nouvelles méthodes du travail auxquelles aspirait le XXe siècle naissant. » — Eugene L. Huddleston, "Rogers, Henry Huttleston" (fr)
