"Texas and wildcatters - they go together. And Pattillo Higgins was the granddaddy of them all." Pattillo Higgins was a wildcatter - he brought Capt. Anthony Lucas to the salt dome at Spindletop and showed him where to drill. He located oil fields all over Texas and Louisiana. Doubted and scoffed at, he has never been proven wrong on one. He opened up the first brick plant in southeast Texas, he operated a logging enterprise on the Neches River, and he was arrested for murdering a law officer - and acquitted. He experienced an intense religious conversion, and married his adopted daughter. . 1989. First Edition. HARDCOVER.
