Excerpt from Sketches in Crude-Oil: Some Accidents and Incidents of the Petroleum Development in All Parts of the Globe Ife is too short to compile a book that would cover the subject fully, hence this work is not a detailed history of the great petroleum development. Nor is it a mere collection of dry facts and figures, set forth to show that the oil business is a pretty big enterprise. But it is a sincere endeavor to print something regarding petroleum, based largely upon personal observation, which may be worth saving from oblivion. The purpose is to give the busy out side world, by anecdote and incident and brief narra tion, a glimpse of the grandest industry of the ages and of the men chie y responsible for its origin and growth. Many of the portraits and illustrations, nearly all of them now presented for the first time, will be valuable mementoes of individuals and locali ties that have passed from mortal sight forever. If the reader shall find that within is more of relish than of cost the writer of these Sketches will be amply satisfied.
