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.
In this book, Roger M. Olien and Diana Davids Hinton chronicle 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.

A great introduction to the early history of the Early Oil industry focussing on Texas I went for the Audible version
By Dr
I am a New Zealander so neither a Texan or of Oil Stock
It would be a pity if this excellent work only found its way into the above homes.
I found it a very useful introduction to the early history of Oil. It's focus is on Texas and the approach is by area and chronology.
Eg it takes the Spindletop area and follows its story through in that chapter
Later it takes the Permian Basin and shows how it fairly barren and rug hard area became a major oil area.
One learns about sweet crude and (sulphurous ) sour crude and crude with a fair mixture of paraffin
Technological developments like developments in drilling,storage, pipelines, refining and exploration are scattered throughout the text.
With improvements in refining Aviation Octane arrived just before WWII and the modern Plastics industry was just starting
One is introduced to a number of major and smaller players with bigger firms,indecent ants and loners.
One sees how Texas aimed to control the finances so that Texas benefitted most
One also learns about the problems for the Permian Basin-- it's inassessability and the poor nature of its crude so that it didn't attract a premium
One learns how the University of Texas became the richest University in the World. In the Texas constitution from the 1860's I think , the founders of Texas put extensive but near valueless lands aside for 2 universities. Nothing much came of this till oil was struck on University lands in the Permian Basin. The story has lots of twists and turns (what royalties went to Ranchers, what to the University of Texas, what to UAM etc)
I hope I haven't put you wrong on the details. I have learnt a lot from the book and will be going though it again to try and firm up on a number of details.
I had the kindle version but found I made a lot more progress by someone reading it to me
I think this helps bring out the gripping nature of the story
See the Audible version that is unabridged(click author's name which will take you to various versions of this work- one at least has the Audible setting. If you are an Audible member go direct to Audible)
I found the pictures didn't open in my kindle edition
If you like picture books of Early Oil history see
Early Texas Oil: A Photographic History, 1866-1936 (Kenneth E. Montague Series in Oil and Business History)
Some of my general comments are found under my review

Oil in Texas: The Gusher age, 1895-1945
By Dorothy Hayner
This book, bought for our son whose career is in the oil and gas industry, was just right for him. I had reviewed another copy while visiting my brother, Bill Fortune. He, too, received a new copy a few weeks ago and upon his recommendation, I decided to buy one for our son. I read quite a bit from the book before I passed it on and for sure want to read it all someday. The fact that it was once in a library made it quite interesting. We Texans enjoy all aspects of our state history and what I read did not disappoint. The preface was clear in expressing the intent of the book and I am certain that our son aw well as his wife [ her family has been in the West Texas oil and gas work for generations] will be blessed with this fascinating read. I recommend it for a gift to almost anyone who enjoys Texas history.
