  Oil in Texas: The Gusher Age, 1895-1945: Clifton and Shirley Caldwell Texas Heritage Series , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 643min

  As the 20th century began, oil in Texas was easy to find, but the quantities were too small to attract industrial capital and production. Then, on January 10, 1901, the Spindletop gusher blew in. Over the next 50 years, oil transformed Texas, creating a booming economy that built cities, attracted out-of-state workers and companies, funded schools and universities, and generated wealth that raised the overall standard of living - even for blue-collar workers. No other 20th-century development had a more profound effect upon the state. In this book, Diana Davids Olien and Roger M. Olien chronicle the explosive growth of the Texas oil industry from the first commercial production at Corsicana in the 1890s through the vital role of Texas oil in World War II. Using both archival records and oral histories, they follow the wildcatters and the gushers as the oil industry spread into almost every region of the state. The authors trace the development of many branches of the petroleum industry - pipelines, refining, petrochemicals, and natural gas. They also explore how overproduction and volatile prices led to increasing regulation and gave broad regulatory powers to the Texas Railroad Commission. Roger M. Olien holds the J. Conrad Dunagan Chair in Regional and Business History at the University of Texas-Permian Basin, where Diana Davids Olien is a Senior Lecturer in History. The book is published by University of Texas Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kevin Young. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/009866/bk_acx0_009866_sample.mp3.

  Ima Hogg: The Governor's Daughter: Fred Rider Cotten Popular History Series , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 400min

  Texas legend has it that James Stephen Hogg, Governor of Texas from 1890 to 1894, named his daughters Ima and Ura, but that is only half-true: there never was a Ura. Ima had three brothers, Will, Mike, and Tom. Ima Hogg, who was born in 1882 and died in 1975 at age 93, became a legend in her own right, and this book is her story. It is also the story of the extraordinary bond between a father and a daughter. James Stephen Hogg, who worked his way from a hardscrabble life in the piney woods of East Texas to the Governor's Mansion in Austin, was a giant in Texas politics, both literally (standing six feet three inches tall and weighing close to 300 pounds) and figuratively, as the champion of the little people against big business in the 1890s. He adored his daughter, and after his wife, Sallie Stinson Hogg, died of tuberculosis in 1895, Ima and her father drew even closer. Jim Hogg, a widower in his 40s with four children - Will, 20; Ima, 13, Mike, 10, and Tom, 8 - left politics to practice law in Austin, and Ima became the sunshine of her father's household. While Ima attended the University of Texas and then studied music in New York City, ex-Governor Hogg pursued business interests, and was one of the early investors in the Texas oil boom after the Spindletop gusher in 1901. "Miss Ima", as she was known (she never married but she had many suitors), founded the Houston Symphony, served on the Houston School Board, established the Hogg Foundation for Mental Health, and restored several historic Texas buildings. She would have been famous, even without her unusual name. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christy Lynn. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/028020/bk_acx0_028020_sample.mp3.
