Miner, Craig.
Discovery! Cycles of Change in the Kansas Oil & Gas Industry 1860-1987. Wichita, KS: KIOGA, 1987. Quarto (10.25 in. by 7.25 in.); 239pp.; very good hardcover; very good dust jacket; dust jacket shows rubbed panels, torn edges; book shows bumped, rubbed corners; rubbed spine; sticker to half-title page. From an unremarkable start before the Civil War, the Kansas oil and gas fields grew to the state's second largest industry. The growth, however, was not without reverses. Great fluctuations in price and rapid changes in technology challenged those in the business to ride the economic cycles and overcome the resistance of Nature at minimum cost in order to earn the wealth earth's secret stores could bring. --Quote from dust jacket |
