Description
Black Gold is a selection of nine articles taking a look at specific individuals, oil fields, issues, and oil companies within the history of Wyoming’s oil industry. In my opinion, every chapter specializes in a very powerful item or incident in that history; together they illustrate patterns within the development of Wyoming’s oil industry. The reader will come to see the essential roll played by big business and the government in Wyoming’s oil history. This roll from time to time contributed to, and at other times retarded, the development of Wyoming’s oil industry.
