Download or read book Gamble in the Devil s Chalk written by Caleb Pirtle, III and published by eBookIt.com. This book was released on 2013-05-22 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mid 1970s, a band of men with little expertise in the oilfield defied the hard ground of Giddings, Texas, to search for oil in a barren, poverty-stricken land that was littered with dry holes, shattered hopes, and empty pockets. Max Williams, the former hot-shot basketball player at SMU, and Irv Deal had been in high-dollar real estate until the real estate market collapsed. Both were facing the wrath of hard times. Pat Holloway was a lawyer who operated drilling funds but had never tested the ill-fated Austin Chalk. He drilled the most and earned the most but lost it all in the shady confines of a Dallas courtroom. Jimmy Luecke was a highway patrolman who stopped Holloway for speeding one night and promised not to take him to jail if the lawyer/oilman would agree to drill on his family's land. Bill Shuford was right out of college and more interested in finding the next beer joint than his next job. Jim Dobos was a constable who used his badge to lease land, struck it rich, and was found with a gunshot in his head. Was it murder or suicide? Clayton Williams was the only big-time oilman in the bunch, but in the beginning, he made the mistake of employing the wrong geologist. Only those who used the geologic genius of Ray Holifield found oil. Holifield had cracked the code of the chalk. Gamble in the Devil's Chalk is the true story of their fights, their feuds, their trials, their tribulations, and their triumphs as they discovered the second largest oilfield in the United States during the past half century. Once they came, Giddings would never be the same again.

John McCrumb takes his family on one such dangerous trek, in including his beloved wife, Sarah, their two beautiful daughters, Lucy and Amy, and their two adventurous sons, Jerald and Jacky.

Despite Sarahs deteriorating health, John presses on toward their goal. They must survive a buffalo stampede, an angry grizzly, and even kidnapping by Ute Indians before reaching their final destination. The Wild West is a beautiful, untamed place, but Sarahs unshaking faith in God leads them ever closer to their goal. Even tragedy will not stop these pioneers, inspired by the American dream of freedom and greatness.

Download or read book The Oklahoma Kid written by Kenneth Orr and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-04 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you like to read about early western history and at the same time read about the real people who were making it happen, this is the right book for you. This fictional story is a combination of many stories that were told to me by residents of east central Oklahoma during the years I lived there. It covers law enforcement, selling whiskey, Indians, love and family, circus tent preachers, medicine men and the oil company's takeover of much of Oklahoma's natural assets. It is also about how society was reacting to the trials and problems of the common man. You will need to put yourself back int history and forget modern day events to enjoy reading this book. As you read you will soon find that you are identifying the same kinds of events that happened then with similar events that happen everyday in our current world. It is a fact, history does repeat itself. The only differences are the people and the more modern way things are being done today. My first two books were centered on Texas. This one was just waiting inside my head to jump out. I wanted to tell a tale of the early days in the wonderful state of Oklahoma. The "West" as we refer to our country today, was based on several states and the extreems found in all of the areas. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Book excerpt: Would you believe that several years ago my life was completely devastated to the point of giving up all hope? That is when God's grace and mercy inspired me to turn the terrible catastrophe into an opportunity to write Life Still Goes On, an exciting, thrilling, incredible, fascinatingly extra-ordinary unbelievable story of my life. A father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, my experiences as a former public school teacher; a former pastor in the United Methodist Church; a former missionary with the Sudan Interior Mission in Liberia, West Africa; and a former substitute teacher with the Roswell Independent School District will be included in this book. I have to laugh sometimes, because my life has been like the rides at an amusement park: up and down and up and down and around and around as Life Still Goes On, by Curtis L. Hayes. ****** I purchased a coffee cup in the thrift store for 10 cents, and this is what it said, CURTIS "A likeable fellow, Many favors he's done, Patience his virtue, The courteous one." -- John Piatt I have never met Mr. Piatt, but he summarized my life up pretty good. Like an eagle that soars high and swoops down low to catch an animal. My life seems to have been much like that! Up and down, back and forth, round and round I would go! I loved the roller coaster the most! At 81 years of age, I am still enjoying the rides. God inspired and allowed me to write the remarkable autobiography "Life Still Goes On", by Curtis L. Hayes.
