19361182Los Angeles: Brooks Bros 1936. Very good plus. Blueprint map 21.5 x 18.25 inches. Old fold lines minor wear. A few pencil annotations. An interesting and quite attractive blueprint map that shows the oil and gas fields of New Mexico where oil was first discovered in 1924. The map was compiled and drawn by Fabius and Sam Brooks Los Angeles publishers and was based on a 1931 map by Dean Winchester and "corrected to date" likely in the mid-1930s. The map shows the locations of oil and gas fields across the state and delineates sites of oil drilling their proprietors and the depths at which they hit oil or gas. Also included are the routes of major gas and oil pipelines. At the lower left corner of the map is a list of principal lease holders in New Mexico broken into tiers by acreage with Standard Oil holding over a million acres and the next group holding 100000 to 500000 each down to 5000 individuals and small companies who hold anywhere from 40 to 5000 acres. We locate a handful of copies of the Winchester map and one copy of a later dated Brooks map with a different title but none of the present issue. A highly attractive and informative New Mexico oil map. Brooks Bros unknown books
1948BB.23.032<em><strong>Silver prints 158; 3 x 5 and 7 x 9 inches; Some with identifying locations recto and others with photographer's hand stamp verso.</strong></em> This compelling photo album compiled between 1948 and 1957 offers a view into the rapid development of roadside infrastructure that took place in California during the transformative period of post-war prosperity.<br /><br />As California experienced a surge in car ownership and a growing reliance on automobiles for transportation the need for accessible and conveniently located gas stations became increasingly apparent. The album shows how Associated Oil Company by this time a subsidiary of Tidewater Oil owned by Getty strategically positioned their now-iconic "Flying A" gas stations to cater to the burgeoning market up and down the West Coast. This album presents prospective locations some depicted with realtors' advertising boards scenes of construction and improvements and views of recently completed service stations spanning from the Southern Bay Area to Los Angeles.<br /><br />The album is mostly un-captioned with just a few prints having notations on the rectos but many scenes are identifiable by the signage of local businesses and vehicles or the sharp and visible street-signs. Some identifiable locations include: San Jose Saratoga Los Gatos San Marino Canoga Avenue in Woodland Hills and Nordhoff & Terra Bella Streets in Los Angeles among numerous others.<br /><br />A fantastic album which captures the relationship between changing consumer needs swiftly-increasing land development and the iconic roadside gas stations that have become synonymous with California's roadside landscape.

19321450Various places mostly Texas Tennessee Kentucky and Virginia 1932. Overall good plus. Eighty-five typed and manuscript letters including thirty mimeographed copies of a form response. Moderate chipping and wear to a few letters most previously folded but otherwise in strong condition. A fascinating collection of correspondence relating to spurious Depression-era claims on the famed Beaumont estate of Pelham Humphries 1810-1835. In 1834 Humphries a colonist in the disputed lands along the US border with Mexico filed a claim for a league some 4428 acres of land to the west of the Neches River a few miles south of what is now Beaumont in Jefferson County Texas. The land a patchwork of swamp and grassland good only for grazing was deemed valueless until oil was discovered there in 1901 by which time it had become known as Spindletop and the area became the epicenter of the Texas oil boom. <br/><br/>No one made more money than William Perry Herring McFadden 1856-1935 a rancher who had bought Spindletop in 1883 but ownership of the land was in dispute when he made the purchase. Humphries had died in obscurity possibly killed in a gunfight or perhaps hanged for stealing horses and there was no clear transfer of title. The first suit over the Humphries Land Grant was filed in 1880. McFadden purchased the rights of both parties in the suit but later claimants argued that neither had had a legitimate interest. When geologists stuck oil hundreds of people discovered their fortunate genealogy as a story swiftly spread that the heirs to the Humphries estate were due a share in the profits from the great companies that extracted oil from Spindletop. Numerous lawsuits followed beginning shortly after the discovery and continuing through the 2010s some extending over decades and involving thousands of claimants.<br/><br/>After one such suit entitled Anderson v. Lucas was settled in 1906 the Humphries story appears to have been forgotten for several decades before it emerged again during the depths of the Great Depression. Humphries reportedly hailed originally from Tennessee and in October 1931 the Knoxville Journal reported that members of the Humphreys family were gathering in Madisonville Tennessee to discuss their options. In November another meeting was held in Knoxville drawing over 200 attendees. Responding to the growing number of inquiries sent to his office W. T. Blackmon the Jefferson County Clerk wrote to the Knoxville Journal to set the record straight - "the Humphreys have absolutely no chance of getting $40000000 worth of oil land" the Journal summarized. "And so far as he is concerned he had rather hear no more about it. . He informed the Journal that he had quit opening letters from the Tennessee Humphreys." But Blackmon's letter had no effect. The next day the paper ran a piece in which Oscar Humphrey a stringer for the Associated Press voiced his suspicion at the clerk's response and urged people to fight for their millions.<br/><br/>The documents present here constitute Blackmon's file of inquiries from various Humphries claimants and their representatives all dated 1931 to 1932. A defiant letter here from Oscar Humphrey encloses clippings from the Knoxville Journal and informs Blackmon that "You may rest assured that I am going to have these stories reproduced in other papers in several cities in Tennessee and Georgia." The bulk of the archive consists of over fifty letters containing requests and claims from eleven states including Tennessee Virginia Kentucky Louisiana and Texas as well as the District of Columbia suggest that Humphrey's threat was not an idle one. Some of the letters are a few typed lines and comprise simple requests for information while others are handwritten and run on for pages with elaborate descriptions of the supplicant's claims and genealogy. Also present are carbon copies of general Blackmon's response which he adapted as a mimeographed form letter as well as copies of two more personalized . To dissuade inquirers from further correspondence his form letter notes that a full abstract of the survey of claims to Spindletop would cost "about $2500.00." Additional material here suggests that this may have been side scam Blackmon had with Earl Singleton the proprietor of the Jefferson County Abstract Company. At any rate the fresh rounds of claims on Spindletop delineated here came to nothing and Blackmon gave up his duties as County Clerk and accepted a new position as tax assessor and collector for Jefferson County the pursuit of tax delinquents perhaps seeming a restful occupation by comparison.<br/><br/>An excellent collection of documents detailing one episode in the long saga concerning the rights to the Spindletop fortune. unknown books

Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original wrappers. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 83 p. Chipped on extremities of pages and cover, minor stains on edges. Otherwise a good copy. First and only edition of this first work in book form on Baku and Azerbaijani oil. After the occupation of the Republic of Azerbaijan by the Red Army, many Azerbaijani intellectuals such as Mehmed Emin Resûlzâde (1884-1955) sought refuge in Turkey, established a publishing house called "Milli Azerbaycan Nesriyâti" [i.e. National Azerbaijan Publication] in 1928, Istanbul, and to make the voice of Azerbaijanis heard in exile to influence world public opinion. This book was published as the 9th publication of this publishing house. It was printed in Orhaniye Printing house in 1928 and was actually composed of the articles written by the author in the "Azeri-Turk" magazine. The first article appeared in the issue dated 15 August 1928, with other articles following it. The book, in which Mehmed Emin Rasülzade also penned a presentation, consists of the chapters: The Role of Oil in the World War, Azerbaijan at the Genoa Conference, Azerbaijan at the Hague Conference, the American Rivalry in Britain, A Common Front against the Bolsheviks, the Pursuits of the Oil Competition. Compiled from Mehdiyev's articles, is not only a propaganda work against the Russian occupation but also the first in-depth work written on Baku and Azerbaijan oil. Many sources in the text are referenced in footnotes. Mehdiyev says that world politics is shaped by the economy and oil is the most important factor in this context. In addition to expressing how important it is for the First World War, he also makes predictions about how oil will shape world politics in the future. According to Mehdiyev, whoever dominates the world's oil reserves will be the strongest state in the world. Based on M. Fanning, Mehdiyev states that Azerbaijani and Baku oil has an estimated 8 million barrels of resource rather than Mexican, American, Turkish, and Iranian oil. Only one paper copy in Bogaziçi University's Library in Turkey according to the OCLC: 82001141.; Özege 1960.

19301996Fort Worth: Oil City Map Co 1930. Very good. Large blue line map 34.25 x 27.5 inches. Folded. Scattered contemporary pencil annotations. Minor wear and a couple of short separations along fold lines. Small cut into neat line near upper right corner. Rare and detailed oil map of the oil fields in Shackelford and Callahan Counties just east of Abilene Texas. The map indicates the locations of well being drilled those producing gas wells dry holes and abandoned wells. The owners of the mineral rights are named and well as many of the surface owners which include various railroads and also the Lunatic Asylum. Deaf & Dumb Asylum Bayland Orphan Asylum and other institutions. A large number of the producing wells both oil and gas were owned by Texas Company Texaco the Magnolia Petroleum Co. but many major and small oil companies had obtained mineral rights on lands in the area when this map was produced. The area around the town of Moran as indicated by the number of wells in the vicinity was one of the major sites of oil production in Texas during the 1920s and was indicative of the spread of the oil business to the western and southern portions of the state during that decade. The publishers of this map the Oil City Map Company of Fort Worth were not particularly prolific -- we locate six examples of their other cartographic work all recorded in single institutional copies and no copies of the present map.
