Book excerpt: Forty-five years before the drilling of the famous 1859 Colonel Drake oil well in Pennsylvania, oil was produced and marketed from salt brine wells dug in southeast Ohio. The oil was bottled and sold as a cure-all medicine, Seneca Oil. In 1860, one of the first oil fields in Ohio was discovered approximately 10 miles southeast of these wells. The 1885 discovery of the giant Lima-Indiana oil field set off the oil boom of northwest Ohio, a period of land speculation and rapid oil field development that lasted over 20 years and propelled Ohio into the leading oil-producing state from 1895 to 1903. John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil of Cleveland built storage tanks, pipelines, and a refinery near Lima. The Ohio Oil Company, now Marathon Oil, was active in the area and still maintains an office in Findlay. The Bremen oil field was discovered in south-central Ohio in 1907, setting off another oil boom, which included drilling within the city limits.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ida M. Tarbell's 'The History of the Standard Oil Company' is a groundbreaking work that delves into the rise of the monopolistic energy corporation in the late 19th century. Written in a journalistic and investigative style, Tarbell meticulously documents the unethical business practices and ruthless tactics employed by Standard Oil to dominate the oil industry. This work serves as a landmark example of investigative journalism highlighting the need for corporate regulation and ethical business practices. Through detailed research and firsthand accounts, Tarbell paints a vivid picture of the impact of monopolies on economy and society, making this book a crucial read for those interested in understanding the power dynamics of corporate America in the Gilded Age. Ida M. Tarbell, a pioneer in investigative journalism, was inspired to write this exposé after witnessing the injustices perpetuated by Standard Oil firsthand. Her meticulous research and dedication to uncovering the truth behind the company's rise to power reflect her commitment to social justice and transparency in the business world. Tarbell's work laid the foundation for modern investigative journalism and has inspired countless writers and activists to hold corporations accountable for their actions. I highly recommend 'The History of the Standard Oil Company' to readers interested in delving into the dark side of corporate power and the importance of ethical business practices. Tarbell's groundbreaking work remains a seminal piece in American history, shedding light on the consequences of unbridled corporate greed and the necessity of government intervention to protect the common good.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oil lies at the heart of the modern history of the Middle East. For decades, the world’s largest oil reserves have enriched the region’s nations. But oil wealth has not brought with it universal prosperity. It has, though, transformed the Middle Eastern people and societies—enriching empires and engendering anarchies. Empires and Anarchies is an unconventional history of oil in the Middle East. In Michael Quentin Morton’s account the burnt-out remains of Saddam Hussein’s armaments and the human tragedy of the Arab Spring are as much of the story as the shimmering skylines of oil-rich nations. From the first explorers trudging through the desert to the excesses of the Peacock Throne and the high stakes of OPEC, Morton lays out the history of oil in compelling detail, arguing that oil simultaneously enriched and fractured the Middle East, eroding traditional ways of life, and eventually contributing to the rise of Islamic radicalism. The book is essential reading for anyone interested in the promises and peril of the world’s oil boom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The History of the Standard Oil Company is a 1904 book by journalist Ida Tarbell. It is an exposé about the Standard Oil Company, run at the time by oil tycoon John D. Rockefeller, the richest figure in American history. Originally serialized in nineteen parts in McClure's magazine, the book is a seminal example of muckraking, and inspired many other journalists to write about trusts, large businesses that (in the absence of strong antitrust laws in the 19th century) attempted to gain monopolies in various industries. The History of the Standard Oil Company is credited with hastening the breakup of Standard Oil, which came about in 1911, when the Supreme Court of the United States found the company to be violating the Sherman Antitrust Act. The subsequent decision splintered the company into 34 "baby Standards." The value of Rockefeller's shares rose after the breakup as the new companies had a positive development on the stock exchange"--Wikipedia, viewed January 27, 2023.

Book excerpt: Did you ever wonder how the oil was discovered? In 1852, a Canadian inventor named Abraham Gesner discovered how to make kerosene from crude petroleum. In an age when candles and whale oil provided the only light after sun down, it was a dramatic discovery. Borrowing a page from alcohol distillers, Gesner used the primitive still type system to still and refine crude petroleum by heating it and separating its various elements.
