Abstract: This volume appears during the commemoration of the centennial of the landmark discovery of oil near Beaumont, Texas. The consequential volume of production, a sequence of nearby finds, and the creation of Gulf and Texaco from Spindletop antecedents all make the event noteworthy even after the original site has subsided into a swamp.
