c1966. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Wraps. Format is approximately 9 inches by 6 inches. 34, [2] pages, plus covers. Illustrations. Index. Rare surviving copy. This booklet appears to have been prepared to support Rockefeller's 1966 campaign for governor of Arkansas. Part of the campaign theme was support for the two-party system at a time when Arkansas was a staunchly Democrat Party state. Winthrop Rockefeller (May 1, 1912 – February 22, 1973) was an American politician and philanthropist. Rockefeller was the fourth son and fifth child of American financier John D. Rockefeller Jr. and Abby Aldrich Rockefeller. He is one of the grandchildren of Standard Oil co-founder John D. Rockefeller. As an entrepreneur in Arkansas, he financed many local projects, including a number of new medical clinics in poorer areas, before being elected state governor in 1966, as the first Republican governor of Arkansas since Reconstruction. Despite accusations of lacking insight into the concerns of low-income voters, Rockefeller was re-elected in 1968, and went on to complete the controversial integration of Arkansas schools. Rockefeller moved to central Arkansas in 1953 and established Winrock Enterprises and Winrock Farms atop Petit Jean Mountain near Morrilton in Conway County. In 1955, Governor Faubus appointed Rockefeller chairman of the Arkansas Industrial Development Commission (AIDC). Rockefeller resigned his position with the AIDC and conducted his first campaign for governor in 1964 against Faubus. His campaign was unsuccessful, but Rockefeller energized and reformed the tiny Republican Party to set the stage for the future. More
