| 520 | |a "Given that hundreds of thousands of persons worked in the upstream sector of the American petroleum industry (1901-1960), it is remarkable and lamentable that to this point there has been relatively little written on the history of oilfield labor in general, let alone in Texas | ||
| 520 | |a For that reason, Weaver's study of oilfield labor during the industry's first half century in Texas is indeed welcome ... as a substantial contribution to both labor history and the history of the American petroleum industry."--Diana Hinton, J. Conrad Dunagan Chair in Regional and Business History, University of Texas of the Permian Basin | ||
| 520 | |a "Oilfield Trash is written in a charming, flowing style that any reader will enjoy ... In Weaver's capable hands, the gypsy lives of a generation of young men unfold on the rigorous stage of drilling fields ..."--Paul Spellman, author of Spindletop Boom Days | ||
| 520 | |a When the first gusher blew in at Spindletop, near Beaumont, Texas, in 1901, petroleum began to supplant cotton and cattle as the economic engine of the state and region. Very soon, much of the workforce migrated from the cotton field to the oilfield, following the lure of the wealth being created by black gold. | ||
| 520 | |a The early decades of the twentieth century witnessed the development of an oilfield culture, as these workers defined and solidified their position within the region's social fabric. Over time, the work force grew more professionalized, and technological change attracted a different type of laborer. | ||
| 520 | |a Bobby D. Weaver grew up and worked in the oil patch. Now, drawing on oral histories supplemented and confirmed by other research, he tells the colorful stories of the workers who actually brought oil wealth to Texas. Drillers, shooters, toolies, pipeliners, teamsters, roustabouts, tank builders, roughnecks ... each of them played a role in the frenzied, hard-driving lifestyle of the boomtowns that sprouted overnight in association with each major oil discovery. | ||
| 520 | |a Weaver tracks the differences between company workers and contract workers. He details the work itself and the ethos that surrounds it. He highlights the similarities and differences from one field to another and traces changing aspects of the work over time. Above all, Oilfield Trash captures the unique voices of the laboring people who worked long, hard hours, often risking life and limb to keep the drilling rigs "turning to the right." | ||
| 520 | |a Scholars and historians of labor and industry will glean new insights from this important book. General readers, especially those interested in oil history, will delight in Weaver's lively recounting of the hardships, dangers, and rewards that shaped and defined those who worked for a living in the oil patch. --Book Jacket. | ||
