Salt Creek, the Saga of a Rocky Mountain Oil Field, traces the 180-year history of one of America's major oil fields. Told through a series of interconnected stories, each written from a different person's perspective, Salt Creek brings to life the dreamers, schemers, scoundrels, visionaries, geologists, and tenacious men and women whose efforts ultimately led to the discovery of hundreds of millions of barrels of oil in Wyoming's sagebrush country.As in Sam L. Pfiester's previous oil history novels (The Golden Lane, Solomon's Temple) all the characters are real people and all the incidents actually happened. Pfiester's rich storytelling, based on years of intensive historical research, highlights hope and opportunity, avarice and exploitation, failure and tenacity, and ultimately, success and community--a true story of the American West.
OIL HISTORY is the definitive guide to the romance, history & lore of the global petroleum business. The oilfield's past was wild & woolly, a time of greed, guts, glory & goofups. A lot has been written about those colorful days of yesteryear, from the old ("Venango Oil Regions", 1866) to the new ("The Prize", 1991). OIL HISTORY reviews 810 titles of enormous variety. Look at just the long & the short of it: The encyclopedic ("A Brief History of the Pennsylvania Oil Region," 652 pages) to the terse ("We Drilled Spindletop," 37 pages). Author, publisher, length, date of publication are also provided. The extensive index will help readers find titles by either author or subject. No matter what your interest in the history of the worldwide petroleum business, it's represented in this unique volume. Published in hardcover, the 6-inch by 9-inch OILFIELD HISTORY is handsomely cloth-bound in royal blue with distinguished silver lettering. Order from IADC Publications, P.O.
