Summary: Business, Ecology, Crime, Indians, & the Black Gold Rush
Comment: Superbly factual material on Oklahoma oil from 1880s to 1940s. Lots of early period data and lots of context for that data presented in a "just the facts" style -- locations, names, dates, technologies, economics & business drivers, disasters, prices, Indian compensation rates for oil leases, ecological mayhem, and boomtown sociology (complete with Prohibition, gangsters, tent revivals, gun-toting Methodist ministers, and the kidnapping of a rich oilman for ransom by Machine Gun Kelly). The Oklahoma oil boom & bust couldn't have a better documentarian than Franks. Many worthwhile photographs, too, but most are of poor quality and some primitive hand retouching reduces their value.
