King Oil

"Even in the vast, untamed territory that was Texas in the 1860s, Frank Dibbler seemed to bestride the land like a giant. Owner of two million parched acres of the range north of the Rio Grande, he was determined to invest every last cent he possessed in sinking a well in a muddy creek where he believed he had struck oil. But Frank Dibbler wanted more than great wealth. He was determined to be an oil king."
