JANUARY 10 = "Black Gold" is Found at Spindletop, Texas

"On January 10, the memorable happened: Mud began to bubble with great force from the well. In a matter of seconds, six tons of drill pipe catapulted out of the ground and up through the derrick, knocking off the top, and breaking at the joints as the pipe shot further upward. Then the world was silent again. The drillers , who had scattered for their lives and were not sure what they had seen, or even if they had actually seen it, sneaked back to the derrick to find a terrible mess, with debris and mud, six inches deep, all over the derrick floor . As they started to clean the mess away, mud began to erupt again from the well , first with the sound of a cannon shot and then with a continuing and deafening roar. Gas started to flow out; and then oil, green and heavy, shot up with ever increasing force, sending rocks hundreds of feet into the air (pictured above). It pushed up in an ever-more-powerful stream, twice the height of the derrick itself, before cresting and falling back to the earth. Captain Lucas was in town when he heard the news. He raced to the hill in his buckboard, pushing his horse at a dead run. As he got to the hill, he fell out of the buckboard and rolled onto the ground. He stood up, fighting to catch his breath, and ran to the derrick. “Al! Al! What is it?” he shouted through the din. “Oil, Captain!” replied Hamill. “Oil, every drop of it.” “Thank God,” said Lucas, “thank God.” "

- Daniel Yergin from his book "The Prize - The Epic Quest for Oil, Money and Power." 

On today's date, January 10, in 1901, oil was discovered at Spindletop Hill in Southeast Texas, near Beaumont.  This was what it was like at this moment at which the world of oil production was forever changed, making some into millionaires, others into losers, and signalling the start of the modern U.S. oil industry.  Texaco, Exxon, Gulf and Shell Oil companies all got their start from this.  But it was just a couple of small investors with a dream who started it!

Patillo Higgins and Anthony Lucas

Patillo Higgins (right) had lived in Beaumont, Texas and was a violent youth. He frequently harassed African Americans and in one incident got into trouble with a local sheriffs deputy after such harassment.  The deputy shot him in his left arm which he subsequently lost.  He worked at a lumber camp one-armed as he was when he attended a Baptist revival meeting and decided to mend his ways and become a proper christian gentleman.  So he moved back to Beaumont, and taught a Sunday School class which he one day took on an outing to Spindletop Hill. He became intrigued by a half-dozen little springs he found on the hill with gas bubbling up into them.  He knew nothing of geology, but he was curious, so he learned about the subject by reading the U.S. Geological Survey, and everything else on geology that he could lay his hands on.  He became convinced that Spindletop Hill was a salt dome beneath which there was oil to be found.  He partnered with some other local businessmen to form the "Gladys City Oil Company" named after one of the girls in his Sunday School Class in 1892.  He purchased the land, but try as he might, he was unable to interest trained geologists in his idea.. they basically told him he was mad to pursue this scheme.

Out of desperation, Higgins placed an ad in a local magazine casting about for possible investors to drill the land and he only got one answer: from a former officer in the Austrian Navy named Anthony Lucas (left).  Lucas, a Croatian who had emigrated to the United States in 1885 had studied Mechanical Engineering and had become an expert on the geological formations in the Gulf Coast area of the United States.  He was like Higgins, convinced that there was oil to be found beneath the salt deposits.  He formed a partnership with Higgins and began drilling in 1899.  But his hydraulic drill broke down.  He knew how to fix it and keep drilling, but his funds were exhausted. And local geologists were completely convinced that Higgins and Lucas were both crazy.


The Oil is Found as Beaumont Becomes a Boomtown

Lucas decided to go to Pittsburgh in search of funding from Standard Oil Co. but John D. Rockefeller and his giant monopoly wanted nothing to do with Texas. So Lucas visited with a bolder pair of investors in John H. Galey and James F. Guffey.  These two agreed to invest in the Spindletop idea, but at a very steep price. They were willing to let Lucas have 1/8 of the company, but Higgins was to get nothing, unless Higgins was willing to give him half of his portion.  So Lucas returned and recommenced his drilling, with the result described above... which became known as "the Lucas Gusher." Word of the discovery got out and within a few short months Beaumont was transformed into a heavily congested Boomtown.  Independent companies were set up overnight with drilling platforms being squeezed into every square inch of Spindletop Hill (above).  Ladies who owned a small plot of land on which to feed their pigs, or do their laundry found themselves being offered fabulous sums for their humble little plots. In fact, the Humble Oil Company was founded here, which later changed it's name to Exxon. Similarly was the Texaco Company.  Mssrs. Galey and Guffey found themselves being pushed out of control of their company by Andrew W. Melon and his brothers, who formed the Gulf Oil Company.

 And what of our two small investors with a dream who started the whole crazy business?  Patillo Higgins, who had been cut out by Lucas sued and was able with the suit, and various other investments to make a decent amount of money to go along with the satisfaction of knowing that he had been right all along.  And Anthony Lucas was able to negotiate a sizable amount for his 1/8 share of his original deal with Galey and Guffey. Upon seeing the over-produced Spindletop Hill, wherein the value of the oil had dropped precipitously, he commented: “The cow was milked too hard...Moreover, she was not milked intelligently.”

A Low 5 for Liz This Week!

Life - 1. Liz - ZERO.

I have been off of my game big time this week. The only thing I have been successful at this week is Blogging. I wrote about my weekend, being a woman in today's society, had my blog hop, and then my most brilliant piece of literature: "The 3 most effective way to gain more followers"... something like that. I would post the links for you to revert back too, but I don't feel like it. If you want to read them, just scroll down the page.

A lot of my good blog friends know, 2013 was horrid for me health wise. I gained nearly 60 pounds from medical issues, so I have been working hard since November to get my groove back. It has been going great.

The week of 11/25 - 7.8 pounds lost.

The week of 12/2 - 2.8 pounds

The week of 12/9 - 3.5 pounds

The week of 12/16 - 2.5 pounds

The week of 12/23 - 5 pounds

Total down: 21.6 pounds

My last weigh in was last Tuesday, New Years Eve. I went back yesterday and I have gained 2.4 pounds. The doctor did add that my water levels were elevated so that could contribute, but I think he said that to make me feel better. 

You know, it is what is. I can't change the number today on the scale, but when I go back next week for my vitamin injection, I can. I think my problem is the holidays being over. I lost weight over Thanksgiving and Christmas, and I held strong. My mom came into town last week and we went out a lot, then I got sick, and being back at work this week, the first 5-day work week in almost 3 weeks, has just been hard. I am off of my game from travelling, being with family, enjoying time off, and doing fun things. I am not perfect and I never will be, so the only thing I can do it just keep pushing. I am going to make it a good weekend and just revamp myself. Next week, that scale better watch the hell out. 

Moving on. This week I decided to change up my breakfasts a little bit. I usually have 3 egg whites mixed with fat free cottage and feta cheese - cooked via stove top. It is actually delicious or maybe I am just crazy, but I enjoy it. I have been eating it every morning for over a month though. I had to switch it up. I made the most delicious smoothie. 

• A handful of frozen strawberries/bananas - I use the bag of frozen fruits from Dole
• 1 scoop of Vanilla Protein Powder. I use 100% Whey, the brand changes, it is usually whatever is cheapest.
• 1 tablespoon of Peanut Butter. I am currently using a peanut butter that has raisins and nuts mixed into it - delicious
• 1 handful of fresh spinach
• 1 cup of Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk (Blue Diamond brand, all others are gross and higher in calories)
• Blend like hell to perfection. I have this $20 blender from WalMart and that little sucker is a trooper. I just keep it on the liquefy setting for about a minute and I am good to go.

Monday night I watched a video on YouTube because I have been wanting to try some cute up-do's for work. My hair is getting super long and sometimes I don't feel like styling it. Plus I only try to wash it 3 times a week since it is so chemically treated. Thus, I wanted to learn how to do the head braid. It is not way hard, but it is not that easy either. It took me a good 45 minutes, but I think I did OK. It was nice sleeping in 15 extra minutes too. I woke up, sprayed leave in conditioner to eliminate frizz and I was good to go.

When my mom stayed last week, she brought her Kindle Fire for me to have. Excited was an understatement. She bought herself a Galaxy Tab for Christmas so she did not need her Kindle anymore. I finally turned it on and set out to buy my first book. You guys listed some great ideas for me, too. I bought the second book of "The Original Sinners" series. It is similar to "50 Shades of Grey" in the essence that BDSM is involved, but T.O.S is much, much better and realistic. If you're into weird stuff like me, you will love the series. If you are just into erotic novels, it may be a little much for you, because it is so real, but it is a GOOD read.

Since I live in Antarctica, I mean North Carolina, I have really had to bundle up lately. Damn it has been cold. I have a ton of scarfs from my grandmother but I never wear them because they are complicated and annoying. However, this week, I made an exception. It was cold. I like this black shiny one I was given so I decided to drape it over me. It looks a little weird over me maybe, but I liked it!

This wraps up my my Friday 5, so I would like to leave you with this amazing picture of my boo bear. He is so dang cute!

Have a great weekend!

The 3 Best Ways EVER to Get Followers

We all love followers, right? There is no better feeling than waking up and seeing a new follower or two on GFC (still my personal favorite) or BlogLovin (meh). Or perhaps you sit at work all day refreshing your screen every 5 minutes and wait for your followers to grow...

Nonetheless, we all want grand blogs with stellar content that keeps everyone coming back for more. 

I have been a "lifestyle" Blogger for approximately 8 months now, therefore I know everything there is to know. 

Do you want more followers? Execute these 3 simple ideas:

1) Sell your soul.

Listen, Blogging is all about having the most beautiful pictures and showing off your amazingly clean house and your huba-roo who loves you more than life, worships the ground you walk on, and  feeds you breakfast in bed while rubbing your feet. Not to mention Jim Bob who is your 4 year old son and is currently training for the Olympics after piano, violin, and guitar lessons and currently reads on a 12th grade level. Don't forget the cheese pizza recipe that is only 12 calories a slice and will cause you to drop 45 pounds overnight. 

That is what we want to see. 

Do not write about your actual life, problems you have, obstacles you face, ideas, thoughts - none of that. Just give us the pictures and tell us how great your life is. That is what matters. 

2) It's all about the name brand

Like, ew. Who would not NOT wear designers? In order to post the above beautiful pictures that are a must on your blog, you have to have the props. Do you have a small house or apartment? List it tonight. Get out of there STAT. You need a big, extravagant house. Where else can you stage your amazing pictures? No one wants to see that skinny cheese pizza on a non granite counter. Furthermore, your clothes. You need to spend hours looking at fashion bloggers so you know what's in style. Don't forget your jewelry - Kate Spade all. the. way. A $128.00 bubble necklace is the one way to go, lady. If you don't have the cash for it, just take out another credit card. It's that easy. Then on your Erin Condren planner, make sure you pencil in (no, don't use a pencil, I'm sure there is a $45 pen on the market that is totes amaze) a daily Starbucks trip. Lastly, don't you dare post a picture with a bag less than a Coach. If you do not have money for those items, go in debt. Who cares? It's just a measly credit score.

Once you have all of this, you can then proceed with your amazing pictures. 

3) Don't pay your mortgage; host a giveaway instead.

Truthfully, your house will be OK without paying the mortgage for just one month. For example; if your mortgage is around $1,000 - imagine the giveaway you could host! Give away a Louis Vuttion bag, a laptop, or use all of that money towards a Starbucks giftcard - all of your followers could order as many mocha frap chocolate vanilla swirl latte's with nonfat creamer, skinny mint syrup, a dash of of Splenda with a hint of sugar, and a drop of lite cool whip on top as they want!

 Give something GREAT then your blog will be worth following. 

Giving away a Mercedes would be even better...

but lets not be outrageous here. 

**What fun is life if you can't laugh at yourself. I have Coach bags, Erin planners are cute, Starbucks is OK, I have grantite counter tops, and it would be so amazing if there truly was a pizza that was only 12 calories a slice. If you took any of this literal, please do not come back to my spot.

Mid-Week Historical Newsbreak -- Wooddale's Dynamite Goat

For this week's Newsbreak I couldn't resist using a story that not only ties directly into the community of Wooddale, topic of the last two posts (one and two), but also happens to be one of the most amusing ones I've seen. There's also an interesting phrase that may give a little insight into Wooddale, or at least how it was perceived from the outside. It comes to us from the pages of the Chicago paper The Inter Ocean, dated August 28, 1904. It's simultaneously funny, frightening, and discomforting on several levels.

As the story goes, there was a community-owned goat who lived among the quarry workers at Wooddale. And as we've all seen in numerous old tv shows (I'm looking at you, Brady Bunch and MASH), goats will eat just about anything. In this case, there was reason to believe that the goat feasted on two sticks of dynamite, the type regularly used by the quarrymen in blasting out the rock. After learning of this, the locals gave the animal a wide berth, not wanting to get caught in any sort of goatsplosion (goatastrophe? goataclysm? I can go on if you'd like). As the article below from the Alexandria (VA) Gazette noted, the goat was "struting around the neighborhood like a king".

I've not found any follow-up to the story to know if the goat ever blew up, or if everything, um, came out ok. And while there's no denying that for the most part this is a pretty funny story -- one that almost sounds like a cartoon -- in a way it does point out the dangerous conditions under which these immigrants worked. There are numerous stories about workers either being buried in rockfalls or blown up in explosions, like the article mentioned in the Spring Hill Brewery post update. In the pre-OSHA days jobs like this were often very hazardous, probably one reason why it was done largely by immigrants (that and the Italians' stoneworking experience).

The final little thing I'd like to point out is the way in which Wooddale is described in both articles -- as an "Italian colony". This fact was pretty obvious from the Census records, but to see it described this way is interesting. I think it shows that Wooddale was really seen as a foreigners community, possibly one reason why its memory has faded so much over the past century. But all seriousness aside, how can you not chuckle at the thought of that goat wandering around the village?

JANUARY 8 = The Battle of New Orleans

"Col. Smiley, from Bards- town, was the first one who gave us orders to fire from our part of the line; and then, I reckon, there was a pretty considerable noise... Directly after the firing began, Capt. Patterson, I think he was from Knox County, Kentucky, but an Irishman born, came running along. He jumped upon the brestwork (sic) and stooping a moment to look through the darkness as well as he could, he shouted with a broad North of Ireland brogue, 'shoot low, boys! shoot low! rake them - rake them! They're comin' on their all fours!'

This was the scene as described by an unknown eyewitness to the Battle of New Orleans which took place on today's date, January 8 in 1815.  The battle was the most impressive land victory of the war and a very unlikely victory at that.  A rag tag group of  men, as raw and roughly hewn and diverse as America herself was and would become:  regular army troops, local militia, Tennessee volunteers, freed black men, Indians, even a company of Pirates under the command of Jean Lafitte manned the ramparts this day. Commanded by the charismatic General Andrew Jackson, this odd collection came together behind newly constructed breastworks to defeat some of the finest veteran troops that the British had.  Ironically however, this victory would come after the war had already ended.

The United States Sputter and Blow It From 1812-1814

The War of 1812 was about as ill-conceived and pointless a war as the United States has ever been a part of.  It began as tempers on both sides of the Atlantic boiled over as a result of the British practice of stopping American merchant vessels on the oceans of the world, taking some of the American sailors prisoner and impressing them into service in the British Navy.  The war began with several abortive invasions of Canada. The quality of the Americans as soldiers

improved through- out the conflict, but unfortu- nately the quality of their comman- ders did not.  It continued on with a British invasion of Maryland wherein the Brits captured and sacked Washington D.C. on August 25, 1814 (above).   Only the small but brave U.S. Navy kept the war from becoming a total disaster, with victories on Lake Erie and in individual actions between warships. But with their defeat of Napoleon in 1814, the Brits were able to devote their full resources to their war with the U.S., planning a southern strategy.  Their hope was to capture New Orleans and close off the vital U.S. commerce from the Mississippi River.

The Campaign and Battle of New Orleans

The U.S. government dispatched the hard-fighting General Andrew Jackson (pictured, right) to the scene to organize a defense  of  New Orleans.  He arrived on Dec. 2, 1814 to find a city whose populace was nearly in a state of panic about the approaching British forces.  But Jackson, who had won fame with his successful pressing of the Indian wars in Florida, was not one to panic.  He organized his defenses along a small strip of land across the likely British invasion path south of the city.  Using the dry Rodriguez Canal as his line of defense across a narrow strip of land between the Mississippi River and some of the swamp lands to the north, Jackson had barricades made of  mud and cotton bales.  He utilized whatever reliable forces that he could find. He had regular U.S. Army Troops as well as his own Tennessee volunteers. He also used about 62 Choctaw Indians lead by Chief Pushmataha, and some 43 Pirates lead by the infamous buccaneer Jean Lafitte to whom he had promised a pardon in return for his help in this emergency.  All told, Jackson was able to muster about 4,000 men.  Arrayed against this were 11,000 of the finest veterans of the Napoleonic Wars whom the Brits could assemble, commanded by General Edward Packenham, a relative of the Duke of Wellington.   

"Scarcely a ball passed over or fell short of its mark..."

General Packenham evidently had a fairly low estimation of his enemies and their abilities as soldiers, because his plan of attack was essentially a straightforward frontal assault of the American positions.
He did attempt to soften up their defenses with artillery bombardments on December 28 and January 1, but the cotton bales mostly absorbed this ammunition. The attack which commenced on that morning was a slaughter pen for the Brits.  Lines of red coats were mowed down one after the other as they marched straight into the teeth of the American guns.  As remembered by one British soldier:

 "That the Americans are excellent marksmen, as well with artillery as with rifles, we have had frequent cause to acknowledge; but perhaps on no occasion did they assert their claim to the title of good artillerymen more effectually than on the present. Scarcely a ball passed over or fell short of its mark, but all, striking full into the midst of our ranks, occasioned terrible havoc. The shrieks of the wounded, therefore, the crash of firelocks, and the fall of such as were killed, caused at first some little confusion; and what added to the panic was, that from the houses beside which we stood bright flames suddenly burst out. The Americans, expecting this attack, had filled them with combustibles for the purpose, and, directing against them one or two guns loaded with red-hot shot, in an instant set them on fire. The scene was altogether very sublime. A tremendous cannonade mowed down our ranks and deafened us with its roar; whilst two large chateaux and their outbuildings almost scorched us with the flames and blinded us with the smoke which they emitted."

The British Force is Decimated

The final casualties for the Brits that day were huge: over 2,100 men were killed or wounded, as opposed to a mere 7 killed and six 

wounded on the American side.  Among the Brits killed were General Packen- ham himself (pictured, above ).  The unknown American quoted above surveyed the field at the battle's end:

"When the smoke had cleared away and we could obtain a fair view of the field, it looked, at the first glance, like a sea of blood. It was not blood itself which gave it this appearance but the red coats in which the British soldiers were dressed. Straight out before our position, for about the width of space which we supposed had been occupied by the British column, the field was entirely covered with prostrate bodies. In some places they were laying in piles of several, one on the top of the other."

In less than one hour the British force had been decimated.  The Brits withdrew from Louisiana altogether,  boarded their ships and returned to Europe to face the threat of a resurgent Napoleon who had escaped from his exile on the island of Elba, and was re-installing himself as

the Emperor of France. As to the Battle of New Orleans, it would have spelled an end to British designs on the Mississippi, but a Treaty of Peace had been signed at Ghent (right) in the Netherlands on December 24, ending the war. But communications being what they were in these days before the telegraph, word did not get to New Orleans until after the engagement had taken place.  But the Battle did, in addition to salvaging the reputation of American arms on land, put an end to any lingering hopes of British recovery of her North American colonies.
