Albert A. Rollestone : ウィキペディア英語版 | Albert A. Rollestone
Albert A. Rollestone (approx. 1866-1952) was a Presbyterian philanthropist and Oklahoma oil pioneer. A.A. Rollestone helped fund the first institution of modern education in Iran at the turn of the 20th Century. A.A. Rollestone provided funding for the iconic central building of Alborz College, Iran’s model of modern education. ==The early years== Albert A. Rollestone, an immigrant to the US, was a businessman who took many years to earn his fortune and it was dramatically symbolized by a spectacular oil gusher he drilled in Bristow, Oklahoma (30 miles southwest of Tulsa). He was born in Ireland in 1866 into a Presbyterian family and at 17 left for the South African diamond mines. He then moved to Colorado where he became a banker and was considered a prominent figure in gold and silver mining. With the decline in the Colorado gold rush he left first for Tulsa, Oklahoma. It is said Rollestone was broke when he finally arrived in Bristow, Oklahoma, but his luck was about to change.
