Report Of Progress by Henry E. Wrigley. This official 1875 report from the Pennsylvania Second Geological Survey provides a comprehensive survey of petroleum in Pennsylvania. It traces the rise of American oil mining, surveys the geography and geology of oil-bearing districts east of the Mississippi, and offers detailed descriptions of the Pennsylvania Oil Region, including Titusville, Oil City, and the lower and cross belts. It includes statistical production data from 1859–1874, descriptions of drilling and pumping methods, pipe-line transport, and refining, with safety considerations and uses for crude oil, residuum, naphtha, and hydrocarbons. The work includes maps and plates, and adds a cross-section by J. P. Lucas showing the line of levels through Butler, Armstrong, and Clarion counties, along with a discussion of foreign oil fields. Ultimately, it argues for prudent management of oil resources, and situates Pennsylvania’s oil boom within a broader global context, highlighting both opportunities and challenges for sustainable production.
