The Saga of Texas Pacific Coal and Oil Company

Don Woodard

". . . a gem and a gusher, as polished a piece of writing as has come out of this quadrant of the former Republic of Texas in many a moon. It spews spellbinding, documented history by the ton and the barrel . . . BDBG is destined to become an indispensable volume of regional lore."
—Cecil Johnson, Fort Worth Star-Telegram

". . . a well-told tale. The authorÆs storytelling skill and depth of research propel this book to a higher plane than that of typical dry corporate history."
—Teresa McUsic, Fort Worth Star-Telegram

"Research is painstaking as Woodard chases the birth, growth, collapse and resurrection of Texas Pacific Coal and Oil Company . . . readers wonÆt put it down."
—Howard L. Green, Former Legislator, County Judge, County Treasurer

In best-selling Black Diamonds! Black Gold!, author Don Woodard portrays the events, people, and company that created the boomtown Thurber and gives us a rare glimpse into the wheeling and dealing of cattle barons, oil tycoons, and politicos on a truly Texas scale!
