Sinopsis

Excerpt from Derrick and Drill: Or, an Insight Into the Discovery, Development, and Present Condition and Future Prospects of Petroleum, in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, &C

But, even in this promiscuous collection of articles, there will be found a mass of facts and opinions which will possess a certain value with all who are seeking information on the subject. The development of the vast oil interest, in Pennsylvania, is of too recent occurrence to have its history written at this early day. So far, that interest is barely in its infancy. In the fulness of time it will reach its manhood, when the colossal proportions to which it seems destined to attain, will be worthy of the same elaborate attention which has been bestowed on cotton, coal, and iron.
