Description
On January 10, 1901, the world changed with the discovery of an enormous oil field in East Texas. The Spindletop well gushed for nine days, creating a lake of petroleum that caught fire and exploded hundreds of feet into the air. Ignoring this warning, prospectors poured into the area, creating an Oil Rush that dwarfed the Gold Rush of California. Suddenly petroleum was cheap, and internal combustion engines were everywhere.
