Download or read book Hard Oiler written by Gary May and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 1998-11-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hard-luck Yankee fortune seeker. A Hamilton wagon maker hoping to sell cars to the new railways. A howling swamp so isolated and foul that pioneer farmers had steered it a wide miss. An unlikely trio indeed. And yet these three seemingly unconnected elements came together at just the right moment in time, to create one of the great but little known stories of Canada’s early years. Hard Oiler! is the story of how oil was discovered near Sarnia, Ontario, one hundred and forty years ago, and how the subsequent exploitation of that oil gave birth to what is arguably the world’s most important industry today. This great Canadian milestone can be traced back to the summer of 1858 when James Miller Williams struck oil in Lambton County, in Southwestern Ontario. Soon thereafter Williams dug the first commercial oil well in North America - if not the world - and began refining and marketing his product as machine lubricant and lighting oil. This set off a chain of events that resulted in the establishment of an industry on which our very life today is so heavily dependent. Hard Oiler! traces these events including the gold rush-like frenzy that saw the overnight rise and decline of the frontier town of Oil Springs, and the creation of the much more permanent community of Petrolia, which still flashes its Victorian charm to this day. It also recalls the exotic adventures of Lambton oil drillers as they travelled the globe opening up oil fields from Java to the Ukraine, and from America to Venezuela and the Middle East.
Download or read book Canada s Victorian Oil Town written by Christina Burr and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2014-06-22 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Departing from traditional historiography focused on the economic role of resource development, Canada's Victorian Oil Town incorporates an understanding of the connections between science and technology, nation and imperialism, and cultural nuances of community-building. Burr looks at the cultural importance of place and how collective identity was nurtured in the community. She also illustrates how the image of Petrolia as Canada's Victorian Oil Town has been used since the 1970s to develop a thriving tourist industry in the region. Interdisciplinary in scope, Canada's Victorian Oil Town draws from the history of imperialism, science, resource development, local history, gender studies, and cultural geography.

Book excerpt: Henry Harman (ca. 1754-1819) and his wife Esther? (d. ca. 1830) arrived in Canada in 1796 and petitioned the British Crown for land. The land was situated 15-20 miles north of the town of York, on the newly opened "Yonge Street". Today that land forms part of the town of Aurora, north of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. They had at least five children born between 1786 and 1795 before moving to Canada in 1796 and settling in King Twp. These children were born in the United States, and five more children were born in King Township. Descendants live mainly in Canada but also in Michigan, New York and California and elsewhere.
