About This Item
New York: Random House, 1952. Third Printing (so stated) . Hardcover. Very Good/None. Signed and dated in green pen on the first page of the book over a map as follows: "To/Russell Barron/With Warm Personal Regards/Michel T. Halbouty/(in a different handwriting) James A. Clark/30 Jan '62/". The Spindletop gusher gave birth to an industry and a new age, it also developed the men to man it and armed them with the ingenuity and resourcefulness necessary to progress. Spindletop stands as a fountainhead of American progress and prosperity and as the symbol of an industry. This work of 306 pages, plus an index and two appendices, tells the story lest we forget. The storytellers who signed this volume are no longer with us and the exact location of where Spindletop was has been lost. Let the story never be lost. Available for immediate shipment, carefully packed in a sturdy box!
