Book Synopsis Oil in Texas by : Diana Davids Hinton
Download or read book Oil in Texas written by Diana Davids Hinton and published by Univ of TX + ORM. This book was released on 2002-03-15 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dramatic story of the oil boom that transformed the history of a state, drawn from archives and first-person accounts. As the twentieth century began, oil in Texas was easy to find, but the quantities were too small to attract industrial capital and production. Then, on January 10, 1901, the Spindletop gusher blew in. Over the next fifty years, oil transformed Texas, creating a booming economy that built cities, attracted out-of-state workers and companies, funded schools and universities, and generated wealth that raised the overall standard of living, even for blue-collar workers. No other twentieth-century development had a more profound effect upon the state. This book chronicles the explosive growth of the Texas oil industry from the first commercial production at Corsicana in the 1890s through the vital role of Texas oil in World War II. Using both archival records and oral histories, they follow the wildcatters and the gushers as the oil industry spread into almost every region of the state. The authors trace the development of many branches of the petroleum industry: pipelines, refining, petrochemicals, and natural gas. They also explore how overproduction and volatile prices led to increasing regulation and gave broad regulatory powers to the Texas Railroad Commission.

Book Synopsis The Wildcatters by : Samuel W. Tait Jr.
Download or read book The Wildcatters written by Samuel W. Tait Jr. and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-01 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wildcatters: An Informal History of Oil-Hunting in America takes a close look at the early histories of the chief oil fields of the United States, with special emphasis on the fields of Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio. The author, himself the son of a successful oilman from Blackford County, Indiana, describes how oilmen without much (if any) knowledge of geology migrated westward from Pennsylvania and West Virginia into Ohio, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and even into California, and how these “wildcatters”—a term for an individual who drills wildcat wells, which are exploration oil wells drilled in areas not known to be oil fields—would often drill holes that would prove to be successful and bring in new fields. Tait explores the very first serious attempt in the United States to develop and oil industry, which was in 1859 in Titusville, Pennsylvania, and how the great Appalachian oil field was developed, with exploration rapidly carried into West Virginia, and continued into Ohio and Indiana. A well-drilling in Findlay, Ohio in 1884 discovered gas, resulting in the opening of the great Lima-Indiana oil field, and the great interior basin fields in Illinois were developed around 1937, largely through the use of geophysics. Samuel W. Tait’s book provides an impressive historical contribution to the history to oil discovery east of the Mississippi River.

Book excerpt: The seventy-fifth anniversary edition of Gunther’s classic portrait of America John Gunther’s Inside series were among the most popular books of reportage of the 1930s and 1940s. For Inside U.S.A., his magnum opus, Gunther set out from California and visited every state in the country, offering frank, lucid, and humorous observations along the way in what legendary publisher Robert Gottlieb, writing in the New York Times, calls Gunther’s “fluent, personal, casual, snappy” voice. Gunther’s insights on race, labor, the impact of massive New Deal public works projects, rural life, urbanization, and much more yield fascinating insight into life in a postwar America that had vaulted into the status of the world’s preeminent superpower. This seventy-fifth-anniversary edition of Inside U.S.A. provides an invaluable picture of America as it was and is both a delight to read and filled with insights that remain deeply relevant today.

Book Synopsis The Emergence of the New South, 1913–1945 by : George Brown Tindall
Download or read book The Emergence of the New South, 1913–1945 written by George Brown Tindall and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 1967-11-01 with total page 848 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of the South in this century has been obscured in the ever-growing mass of information about the region's rapid change and turbulent development. In this book, Volume X of A History of the South, the historical image of the modern South is brought into full focus for the first time.George Brown Tindall presents a thorough and well-balanced historical narrative of the region during the years 1913--1945 when the South underwent a transformation from a predominantly agricultural area to one of growing industrialization.The inauguration of President Woodrow Wilson ended a half century of political isolation for the South and ushered in an era of agrarian reforms, prohibition, woman suffrage, industrial growth, and recurring crises for Southern farmers. During the 1920's the South was caught in a contrast of urban booms and farm distress. There were flareups of racial violence, and the Ku Klux Klan was revived. Mr. Tindall devotes considerable attention to the Southern literary renaissance which produced William Faulkner, Thomas Wolfe, and many other notable writers and critics.The Emergence of the New South provides a new understanding of the changing political and social climate in the South under the stresses of depression, the New Deal, the labor movement, Negro unrest, and two world wars.
