Ranger de Alfred Rogers

Ranger

Autor Alfred Rogers
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 iul 2010
Ranger began in the 1870s near a Texas Ranger camp in northeastern Eastland County. It remained a farming community of about 700 people until October 17, 1917, when an oil well on the McCleskey farm, south of town, ushered in one of the best-known oil discoveries. Within months, Ranger s population had surged to approximately 30,000, including investors, speculators, wildcatters, oil field workers, curious onlookers, and the usual criminal element attracted to oil boomtowns. Crime became so rampant that the Texas Rangers eventually were called in to intercede. Oil production peaked in 1919 before tapering off. Images of America: Ranger covers a period of about 75 years from the town s beginnings to 1950."

Notă biografică

Author Alfred Rogers, a retired librarian from the University of Texas Libraries system, grew up in Ranger and has had a long-standing interest in its history. Using vintage photographs from the Ranger Historical Preservation Society, local residents and museums, a number of libraries and archival collections, and his own collection, Rogers tells the story of the village that became one of the best-known oil boomtowns anywhere.
