Hardbound. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Description: Includes three maps and eleven b&w illustrations. This deals with a major feud that troubled American science for over a decade after the Civil War. Silliman, a noted mining consultant and cofounder of Yale's Sheffield Scientific School, reported abundant evidence of oil in California. The existence of a store of mineral wealth other than gold claimed urgent attention in 1865 when rich placer deposits began to diminish. But Josiah Whitney, head of the California Geological Survey, discounted Silliman's findings with outspoken contempt. Silliman was not vindicated until many years after his death, and the dispute eventually involved even the National Academy of Sciences.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Gerald T. White's historical study of the origins of California's petroleum industry and the scientific controversy surrounding its development. The book examines the disputes among geologists, mining engineers, entrepreneurs, and other investigators attempting to understand the nature, extent, and commercial possibilities of California's early oil deposits. White traces the development of petroleum exploration in California during the nineteenth century, including competing geological theories, early drilling and mining efforts, and the conflicts surrounding Benjamin Silliman, Jr.'s involvement in the emerging western petroleum industry. The study places the beginnings of California oil within the broader histories of American science, geology, technology, and industrial development. Published by the Huntington Library in 1968.
