Excerpt from The Oil Regions of Pennsylvania: Showing Where Petroleum Is Found; How It Is Obtained, and at What Cost, With Hints for Whom It May ConcernIn the latter part of March, I left my home for the South-West, designing to pass through the heart of West-Virginia, Eastern Kentucky, Eastern Tennessee, and thence down the Tennessee valley - directly as a correspondent of the New-York Times; indirectly with a view of collecting materials for a volume on the Border States, their soils, minerals, climate, water-power, social condition, etc., for the guidance of those who might desire to migrate thither after the war.On the way, I proposed to spend a few days in the oil regions of Venango county, Pennsylvania, and afterward visit those of West-Virginia, supposing that a week would probably suffice to do both all needed justice.In accordance with this plan, I walked, jumped, or waded the valley of Oil Creek, from Titusville to Oil City, collecting what facts and observations I could during the three days consumed in the passage.Arrived at the journey's end, I found a discordant, contradictory mass of facts and figures on my memorandum-book; and came to the conclusion that, whatever I knew the first day, I knew much less the second, and nothing at all the third. Further, that no person outside of Petrolia, and very few in it, were in a much more enviable condition of mind on the subject, if they would own up to the truth.After deliberating afresh, I formed the resolution of visiting every producing well in that county; gathering from men, who were supposed to have no interest in misrepresenting, its actual yield; comparing the figures with those given by officials and neighbors, and out of the whole endeavoring to ascertain the truth, as nearly as might be.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Old Book intriguing History By T. Shields This is a reprint of a very interesting investigation by a Prof. Wright during the Civil War. Even that early "Promoters" were plying the oil fields and suckering investors... some things never change.An extraordinary insight into the early history of the early oil industry.
