Leon Leonwood Bean (October 13, 1872 – February 5, 1967)〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=1593 )〕 was an American inventor, author, outdoor enthusiast, and founder of the company L.L.Bean. ==History== Bean was born in the town of Greenwood, Maine on October 13, 1872 to Benjamin Warren Bean and Sarah (Swett) Bean. According to a grandson of Leon L. Bean, the latter's middle name may have been originally "Linwood" and accidentally changed to "Leonwood". In fact, in the Freeport Town Clerk's Report for the 1898–1899 period, a "Leon Linwood Bean" married a "Bertha Davis Porter" on September 28, 1898.〔 Town of Freeport, Town Records for 1898–1899, Town Clerk's Report, p. 88.〕 Bean showed an early interest in business, earning his first money when he was nine years old. Learning that he could either attend the local fair or sell steel traps to his father, Bean decided to sell the traps.〔 When Bean was 13 years old, he killed and sold his first deer. Bean's schooling outside of public school included only one semester at Hebron Academy and a course in business at Kents Hill School. One of six sons, Bean's parents died 4 days apart when Bean was 12 years old. He subsequently moved to South Paris, Maine to stay with family. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leon Leonwood Bean」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
