Book excerpt: Excerpt from Second Annual Report of the Geological Survey of Texas, 1890 Dear sir - I have the honor to transmit herewith the Second An nual Report of the Geological and Mineralogical Survey of Texas. The work of that branch of this Department has been in charge of Prof. E. T. Dumble from its organization up to the present time, and whatever of success has attended the inauguration and first two years' work of the Survey is largely due to his skill as an organizer and ability as a geologist. Considering the limited means placed at the command of the Department for use in that branch of the office, the character and extent of the work accomplished will, in my judgment, compare favorably with that done by the Surveys of other States. These Reports have resulted in acquainting our own people with the mineral resources and wealth of the State, and attracting the attention of capitalists and investors, both at home and abroad, thereto. Indeed, this is only a modest claim for the practical benefits to the people of the State resulting from the work of the Survey. Since the Survey has demonstrated its right to live, and its effect on the material development of the State is becoming better understood, it is to be hoped that more liberal appropriations will be made for the prosecution of the work. I have the honor to remain, with great respect, your most obedient servant, L. L. Foster, Commissioner of Agriculture, Insurance, Statistics, and History.

This book was released on 2014-10-03 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conservation and development of natural resources are issues of critical importance throughout the world. These issues have been matters of public concern in Texas since legislators first adopted the state-sponsored geological survey as a means of extending government funds to private citizens who would help develop and advertise the mineral and agricultural wealth of Texas. Walter Keene Ferguson examines the relation of politics to geological exploration during a critical period in Texas history—the first half-century of statehood. Although Texas shared its frontier experience with many other areas, it could not rely on federal aid in the form of land grants because the state government controlled the destiny of the public domain at all times. Acrimonious debate between farmers and urbanites of East Texas and pioneer ranchers of arid West Texas rendered the disposition of public lands even more difficult. As tools for developing and advertising resources, the geological and agricultural surveys of 1858 and 1867 fulfilled the demands of expectant capitalism made by politicians, speculators, and railroad entrepreneurs. Reconnaissance geologists publicized the wealth of Texas. Drought in 1886 and popular agitation against squandering of state land caused the emergence of a new concept of the geological survey as an instrument of land reform and public assistance. Lobbying by reformers and scientific organizations led to the formation of the Dumble Survey in 1888 and the University of Texas Mineral Survey in 1901. Stratigraphic analysis of the “individualities” of Texas geology helped the state realize its full economic potential and led to legislation to protect public mineral land from exploitation. The youthful oil industry finally removed geological exploration from the political arena. As part of the University, a permanent Bureau of Economic Geology was established in 1909 to extend the benefits of scientific research to private citizens and state organizations on a nonpartisan basis. Ferguson’s analysis of geological surveys in Texas contributes to an understanding not only of the geology and history of the state but of the urgent problem of evaluating the natural resources of underdeveloped regions.
