Book excerpt: January 10, 1901 -a momentous day in history. At 10:30 in the morning the first great American gusher "roared in like a shot from a heavy cannon and spouted oil a hundred feet over the top of the derrick out on the hummock that the world would soon know as Spindletop." Overnight the town of Beaumont, Texas became a bedlam. The population doubled and doubled again ... This is the true story of the oil discovery that changed the world -of the events leading up to it and the boom days that followed.
