Buch Erstausgabe
Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. 25 cm. [8], 311, [1] pages. Illustrations. Bibliography. Notes. Index. Publisher's ephemera laid in. Author Jonathan Greenberg is an award-winning national investigative journalist, editor, author and new media innovator. Jonathan's career began as a fact checker at Forbes Magazine, where he advanced to the role of the lead reporter in creating the first Forbes 400 listing of wealthy Americans. Jonathan has been an investigative financial and political journalist for such publications as The New York Times, The Washington Post, New York Magazine, Forbes, and The New Republic. Jonathan's nearly 40 years of reporting experience has been enhanced by a Yale Law School Masters Degree program, from which he graduated with honors in First Amendment Law from internationally renowned attorney Floyd Abrams and then Yale University President Benno Schmidt. Jonathan is the author of the critically acclaimed biography Staking A Claim: Jake Simmons and the Making of an African-American Oil Dynasty. Derived from a Kirkus review: The biography of a fascinating American black whose had an intriguing background and productive life. Greenberg has managed with the help of surviving family members and archival sources to reconstruct the stormy passage of a rugged individualist. Born in 1901 near Muskogee, Simmons had a frontier childhood on his parents' cattle ranch. A 1914 visit by Booker T. Washington took him to Tuskegee Institute. In the early 1920's, Simmons entered the oil business, brokering leases for black farmers and, later, their white counterparts throughout the Southwest. He then moved onto a larger stage, acting as a middleman for such major multinationals as Phillips Petroleum and Texaco in West African nations. A lifelong civil-rights activist, Simmons in 1937 initiated one of the earliest school-desegregation suits to reach the Supreme Court. Greenberg makes a good job of recounting Simmons' heritage, career, and legacy and of honoring a man whose accomplishments speak for themselves.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. Association copy, inscribed by Jonathan D. Greenberg on half title page. Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Shelf wear. Foxing to edges. 311 pages, 8 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations ; 25 cm. *Autographed by author.* African American oil broker and civil rights advocate Jake Simmons, was born on January 17, 1901, in Indian Territory at Sawokla, which later became Haskell. He emerged from a Creek freedman heritage to broker multimillion-dollar deals between large oil companies and emerging African nations. His maternal great-grandfather, Cow Tom, formerly a slave of a Creek Indian, served as an interpreter for the Creek in dealing with the U.S. government after the Civil War and afterward as a leader for many of the newly freed Creek slaves. Simmons's father owned a large ranch in the Haskell area. The senior Simmons's prosperity captured the attention of Booker T. Washington on one of his trips to Oklahoma. Washington stayed an evening at the ranch and sold both father and son on the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. Jake Simmons, Jr., graduated from Tuskegee in 1919. After Tuskegee he married Melba Dorsey and worked in Detroit. By 1920 he had divorced Melba and moved back to Oklahoma, marrying Willie Eva Flowers. In the 1920s Simmons began brokering oil deals in eastern Oklahoma. During the hard times of the depressed 1930s he turned to real estate, selling farms around Muskogee to African Americans in East Texas who had made money in the new oil boom. The poor quality of the land in East Texas, as well as the area's pervasive discrimination and violence, helped Simmons convince many African Americans to move to Oklahoma. In the 1960s Simmons began brokering large deals with African countries, beginning with Liberia. He worked as a partner for Phillips Petroleum Company and later for Signal Oil and Gas Company. Always active in civil rights, Simmons pursued an early court case against separate schools in a 1938 suit under his wife's name, Simmons v. Muskogee Board of Education. In March 1939 the Supreme Court dismissed the Simmons' appeal from the U.S. District Court. Simmons acted as a leader in the local NAACP and served as state conference president from 1962 until 1968. He also served as a member of the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Commission, presided over the Negro Business League, and participated in the influential National Petroleum Council. Jake Simmons, Jr., died in Tulsa on March 24, 1981. His children, Jake Simmons III, a former undersecretary of the U.S. Interior, Donald, an economist who took over Simmons Royalty Company, Blanche, a social worker, and Kenneth, a Harvard-educated professor of architecture at the University of California, Berkeley, all benefited from their father's strong leadership.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: near fine. First edition of Staking a Claim by Jonathan D. Greenberg, inscribed by Jake Simmons III to U.S. Ambassador Ed Perkins. (illustrator). First Edition, Second Printing. Octavo, [4], 311pp. Hardcover, cream cloth spine, title in gilt on spine. Number line on copyright page beginning with "2." Solid text block, lightly bumped top corners, else fine. In publisher's dust jacket, $19.95 retail price on front flap, sunning to spine, a near fine example. Inscribed on the front free endpaper: "To My Friend Amb. Ed Perkins - With this book, I give you my most precious possession, the wonderful memories I have of my remarkable father Jake Simmons, Jr. With friendship and high regard. Jake III 4/3/90." Jake Simmons III (1925-2002) was an undersecretary of the Interior Department during the Kennedy Administration and served three terms on the Interstate Commerce Commission and Surface Transportation Board during the Reagan and first Bush administrations. Jake Simmons, Jr. (1901-1981), the subject of this biography, was the father of Jake Simmons III and was an international oil broker. Simmons, Jr. was "the most successful and most recognizable black entrepreneur" of his time in the oil industry. Dr. Edward J. Perkins (1928-2020) served as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, as well as Liberia, South Africa, and Australia throughout his 25-year foreign service career. In 1986 President Ronald Reagan appointed Perkins to serve as ambassador to South Africa in hopes of fending off a congressional override to his veto of economic sanctions against the country. It was a controversial decision amidst apartheid in South Africa, and many Black leaders urged Perkins to not take the role. Perkins accepted the position and served until 1989, one year before Nelson Mandela was released from prison. He was appointed U.N. Ambassador by George H.W. Bush in 1992, serving for one year.
