How did a profligate who killed a deputy sheriff before reforming, a mining engineer who went AWOL from the Austrian navy, and three East Texas drillers join forces with other equally colorful characters to drill on Spindletop Hill? This book provides the answers.

Southeast Texas natives ELLEN WALKER RIENSTRA and JUDITH WALKER LINSLEY are sisters with undergraduate and graduate degrees from Lamar University. Rienstra is a violinist and historical consultant. Linsley is a researcher for the McFaddin-Ward House, a history instructor at Lamar, a newspaper columnist, and editor of The Texas Gulf Historical and Biographical Record. This is their first collaboration with JO ANN STILES, retired associate professor of history at Lamar University.
