The discovery of the Black Giant in 1930 was the largest oil strike
in the U.S. at that time, and its gushers changed the face of the
oil industry. Oilmen, promoters, oil patch workers, and the
nation's unemployed streamed into the tiny hamlets of East Texas
for their share, but they faced wars between "big oil" and
independent oilmen, bootleg or "hot oil," martial law, and
legalized price-fixing. Yet the Black Giant turned out to be the
salvation of the drought-stricken farmers, helped in the fight
against Germany and Japan, and made lots of folks "Texas rich." The
characters, times, and oil industry skulduggery are recalled and
explained in dozens of sidebars full of humorous facts and trivia.
The author, law professor at Washington College of Law, The
American University, practiced oil and gas law for over 35 years
and focused on oil and gas matters during the Arab oil embargo for
the U.S. Department of the Interior.
