The Deep South is a region of the United States that has been shaped by the oil industry for more than a century. The discovery of oil at Spindletop in 1901 transformed the region's economy and society, and the oil industry has continued to play a major role in the Deep South ever since.
In The Quest for Oil in the Deep South, John Smith tells the story of the American oil industry in the Deep South from the end of World War II to the present day. This is a sweeping, character-driven history that follows the rise of the major oil companies, the development of new technologies, and the impact of the oil industry on the region's environment and economy.
Smith argues that the oil industry has played a central role in the history of the Deep South, and that its story is essential for understanding the region's present. He shows how the oil industry has shaped the region's economy, environment, and society, and how it has influenced the lives of countless individuals.
The Quest for Oil in the Deep South is a major work of scholarship that will be of interest to anyone interested in the history of the American economy, the energy industry, or the Deep South. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the forces that have shaped the Deep South over the past century.
