A very rare copy of this, the first appearance of chapter seven, The Crisis of 1878, of Ida Tarbell's ground-breaking History of the Standard Oil Company. This feature of 16 pages includes photos of: the company's tank farm at Olean, NY; John L. McKinney; Torpedoed oil wells with side-flow and upright flow; A.J. Cassatt; M.N. Allen; a 25,000 oil tank on fire; and a one-page illustration of the hanging in effigy of "Buck" McCandless. With this work, Tarbell invented what we know today as investigative journalism. She was motivated to expose the methods of J.D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil as she felt he had unfairly damaged her father's oil business. The New York University Department of Journalism ranked this study as the fifth best work of 20th-century American journalism. Also contained in this issue is a most scathing 15-page photo-illustrated article on the corruption pervasive in Pittsburgh, PA. Also included is a 9-page article entitled Waifs of the (New York) Street which describes, with illustrations, the heart-breaking life of children forced to work as 'newsboys, peddlers, messengers, and bootblacks that swarm by day and night through every crowded street of busy New York.' Binding intact. Unmarked. Above-average wear. This copy lacks: covers; backstrip; pages 1-2 (title page and first half of table of contents); Advertising pages 133-136. Book

Wood, Lewis Emery Jr., Thomas W. Phillips, Peter Theobald, E.H. Jennings, David Kirk, Michael Murphy, James W. Lee, Hugh King, and Clarence Walker.

Rockefeller's Standard Oil as she felt he had unfairly damaged her father's oil business. The New York University Department of Journalism ranked this study as the fifth best work of 20th-century American journalism. Also included is a fascinating illustrated article by P.T. McGrath entitled The Peril of the Icebergs which discusses the horrors of ships colliding with icebergs, strongly foreshadowing the Titanic disaster eight years later.

Rockefeller's fervent desire to learn every detail of the oil trade, to be able to reach its remotest point, to control even its weakest factor - as this was his ideal of doing business. Illustrated with facsimiles of documents. With this work, Tarbell invented what we know today as investigative journalism. She was motivated to expose the methods of J.D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil as she felt he had unfairly damaged her father's oil business. The New York University Department of Journalism ranked this study as the fifth best work of 20th-century American journalism. Also included is an intersting article by Ray Stannard Baker which examines the corner in labor in San Francisco, where unions hold undisputed sway. The Owl Drug Co. boycott is discussed and photos of Walter Mac Arthur, Eugene E. Schmitz, and P.H. McCarthy are included. Also included is war correspondent Frank H. Schell's personal account of his experience at the Battle of Antietam, the bloodiest day in American history. Binding intact. Unmarked. Above-average external wear. Moderate moisture exposure.

1866235961Titusville: J.A. Mather 1866. 22 stereo cards with printed paper labels on verso titled in manuscript. 3-1/4 x 6-3/4 inches. Some wear to cards images near fine. 22 stereo cards with printed paper labels on verso titled in manuscript. 3-1/4 x 6-3/4 inches. A fascinating and important record of the birth of the oil industry in northwestern Pennsylvania.<br/><br/>British-born John Aked Mather 1829-1915 moved to the United States in 1856 and soon after was introduced to photography by an itinerant daguerreian. Mather travelled through West Virginia and Ohio before settling in Titusville Pa in 1860 with his wife. Edwin Drake of the Seneca Oil Company had begun drilling in August of 1859 and Mather was poised to become the oil boom's photographer of record travelling along Oil Creek River on his flatbed studio. Mather's views of wells and rigs were so popular in their time that owners would request Mather photograph their operations to encourage more investment. <br/><br/>The photographs that Mather took make up the largest and most significant pictorial record of the western Pennsylvania oil boom "a record of the first ten years of the industry a coverage without equal in any nineteenth century technology" Darrah The World of Stereographs p. 80. Notably these stereoviews are contemporary to the boom and thus more desirable than Mather's Historical Oil Region Views published in 1895 from the original negatives.<br/><br/>This group of 22 stereo views includes "Oil Seekers Pithole Penn" "Green Mountain Well " "Champion Wells Pioneer River" "RR Bridge & Pioneer from Oil Creek" "New York Well Pioneer" "Lady Stewart & Lady Brooks Pioneer River" "Petroleum Center Penn" "Fishers Shipping Sheds" "Old Shipping Platform Miller Farms" and the humorous "Sunken Fortune or Ruined Man"<br/><br/>See Giddens Paul H.

19351420Wichita: Wichita Mapping & Engineering Co 1935. Very good. Large blueline map 40.75 x 47 inches. Rolled. Some excess blue ink along bottom edge. Light wear at edges. Minor toning and dust soiling. Scattered neat contemporary manuscript annotations. Imposing and detailed oil and gas map showing developments in Kay County Oklahoma bordering Kansas directly south of Wichita. The present map delineates all the oil and gas wells being planned and drilled and all wells actively producing and abandoned. These are several large concentrations of activity the largest being between the towns of Blackwell Braman Dilworth and Peckham northeast of the Chikaskia River with others located near Tonkawa Ponca City and between Newkirk and Kaw. The map also notes land ownership for every section of every township in the county."The oil and gas industry stimulated an economic boom in the early 1900s. As early as 1894 gas had been discovered on the Marcus McClaskey farm southeast of Newkirk. However he kept the discovery a secret until he could prove up his land claim. By 1902 approximately six gas wells had been drilled northeast of Blackwell. In 1910 Ernest W. Marland founder of the 101 Ranch Oil Company drilled seven gas wells on the Millers' 101 Ranch. However the great oil boom in Kay County was precipitated by the discovery of oil by Marland on the Ponca allotment of Willie Cries Crys-for-War in June 1911. Louis H. Wentz soon entered the foray to locate oil in Kay County. The oil boom and bust created temporary peaks in population and several ghost towns such as Mervine Dilworth and Three Sands" - Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture.Not in OCLC.
