The Oil-Dorado of West Virginia (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles West Virginia's emergence as a prominent producer of natural resources, specifically coal and oil, during the mid-19th century, a period of immense growth and speculation for the new state. The author highlights the geological makeup of the region, which underlies its abundance of natural resources, and details the early methods of exploration and extraction that fueled the state's economic development. Discoveries of oil in the 1800s brought increased attention to the region and eventually led to the widespread establishment of oil wells, many of which still exist today. The book provides a valuable historical account of the people, places, and events that shaped West Virginia's industrial landscape.
