Oklahoma. Oil
Map Showing Oil & Gas Development in Kay County Oklahoma
Wichita: Wichita Mapping & Engineering Co 1935. Very good. Large blueline map 40.75 x 47 inches. Rolled. Some excess blue ink along bottom edge. Light wear at edges. Minor toning and dust soiling. Scattered neat contemporary manuscript annotations. Imposing and detailed oil and gas map showing developments in Kay County Oklahoma bordering Kansas directly south of Wichita. The present map delineates all the oil and gas wells being planned and drilled and all wells actively producing and abandoned. These are several large concentrations of activity the largest being between the towns of Blackwell Braman Dilworth and Peckham northeast of the Chikaskia River with others located near Tonkawa Ponca City and between Newkirk and Kaw. The map also notes land ownership for every section of every township in the county."The oil and gas industry stimulated an economic boom in the early 1900s. As early as 1894 gas had been discovered on the Marcus McClaskey farm southeast of Newkirk. However he kept the discovery a secret until he could prove up his land claim. By 1902 approximately six gas wells had been drilled northeast of Blackwell. In 1910 Ernest W. Marland founder of the 101 Ranch Oil Company drilled seven gas wells on the Millers' 101 Ranch. However the great oil boom in Kay County was precipitated by the discovery of oil by Marland on the Ponca allotment of Willie Cries Crys-for-War in June 1911. Louis H. Wentz soon entered the foray to locate oil in Kay County. The oil boom and bust created temporary peaks in population and several ghost towns such as Mervine Dilworth and Three Sands" - Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture.Not in OCLC. We locate records for four other maps produced by the Wichita Mapping & Engineering Co. with only one being noted in any appreciable amount of copies. Wichita Mapping & Engineering Co unknown books

Scarce illustrated report from 1918 on the developments and production of the Oklahoma Oil Wells Company based in Muskogee Oklahoma.

The progress of four wells is assessed and a report on construction and acquisition of other equipment necessary for the site is given. The production of other leases in Nowata and Muskogee Counties Oklahoma and Greenwood County Kansas is also discussed. The final page contains three photographic illustrations of a power plant and a well on the Sedan property as well as a lengthy exhortation to invest in Liberty Bonds to support the federal government's war effort as World War I continued through 1918. Also with a separate typed letter dated January 9 1917 soliciting investment from an Ohio resident. unknown books

Pennsylvania Oil
Partial Ledger Recording Barrels of Oil Extracted from a Pennsylvania Oil Field in the 1890s
N.p. but likely Pennsylvania 1892. Good. 28pp. Folio. Original black half sheep and marbled boards. Spine and corners heavily worn boards worn. Several leaves cut away with later French funeral notices pasted in on stubs. Ledger recording transactions for several companies and individuals extracting oil in Pennsylvania from 1889 to 1892. The ledger records the name of the company listing the date and then barrels of crude and refined oil "sound" and "broke." Named parties involved in the extraction include James Stewart Aetna Oil Co. Miles Stitt Crew Levick Co. Jos. Kelly & Co. James Harding and others. Several have street addresses listed below their names which would allow for firmer identification with some research. Notations are occasionally in French and taken together with the funeral notices pasted in at the front of the volume we surmise that the owner of the ledger may have been Francois Poulard of Philadelphia to whom one of the notices is addressed. unknown books

Philadelphia 1865. Broadside with a table of the rates of fare on verso. Woodcut illustration of a locomotive. Sheet size: 19 x 8 inches. Extraordinary survival: a railroad broadside advertising a route to America's first oil boom.<br/> <br/>The first oil well in the United States was drilled by E. L. Drake in Oil Creek Pennsylvania near Titusville in 1859. On the 29th of August oil was struck and the first boom was on. Towns such as Oil City and Pithole sprang up. The Titusville population exploded from 250 residents to over 10000 in little more than five years; Pithole expanded from four log-cabin farmhouses to a bustling city with over 50 hotels over the span of five months in 1865. At its peak the Pennsylvania wells were producing one third of the world's oil. An ephemeral survival of America's first oil rush. unknown books

Pennsylvania. Oil
First Report of the Noble & Delamater Petroleum Company. Capital Stock $500000. 50000 Shares -- $10 Each cover title
Philadelphia 1865. Still very good. 411-14pp. Original printed wrappers. Light dust soiling to wraps. Moderate tanning and light foxing internally. Unrecorded report that documents the first annual shareholder meeting of the Noble & Delamater Petroleum Company which took place on April 10 1865 the day after Lee's surrender at Appomattox. The pamphlet presents the current financial circumstances of the company delineates levels of production and revenue over the past year and presents the by-laws of the company. The Noble well was one of the most significant and famous early bonanzas in the oil country of northwestern Pennsylvania. The well was first bored on farm land leased by Orange Noble and George Delamater in 1860. It produced no oil for three years until the decision was made to drill deeper at which point the well turned into a gusher producing thousands of barrels of oil per day for the next two years. By the time this public company was formed production was declining rapidly and according to contemporary reports the well was in the process of being closed up by the end of 1865 with both Noble and Delamater having sold their interests in the company. An excellent document of a famous episode in the early oil history of Pennsylvania. books
