Pattillo Higgins and the Search for Texas Oil

By Robert W. McDaniel and Henry C. Dethloff

Book Overview

Texas and wildcatters--they go together. And Pattillo Higgins was the granddaddy of them all. Without him Spindletop, Texas' first gusher, would never have been drilled, and the history of the modern oil industry might have been far different. Here for the first time is his dramatic, almost mystifying story, based on his personal papers and told by his grandnephew.
