A new age of human progress was born on January 10, 1901, on a small hill called
Spindletop which is located four miles south
of Beaumont, Texas.
At 10:30 in the morning, the first great oil
gusher roared in.
Located in a Texas cow pasture, it blew the petroleum industry into the 20th century.
It was
the boom that shook
the world.
