EDITORS COMMENTS
TEXAS: OIL FIELD, c1919. A captivating glimpse into the bustling oil field and camp at Burkburnett, Texas, captured from a northwest perspective. This vintage photograph, dating back to 1919, offers a fascinating window into early Texan history. In this panoramic view, we witness the dynamic energy of the oil industry as men work diligently around numerous oil wells scattered across the landscape. The presence of tanks and railroads signifies the vital role transportation played in facilitating the extraction and distribution of this precious resource. Nestled amidst this industrial backdrop is a humble camp where families have established their homes. Women can be seen tending to daily chores such as hanging laundry on clotheslines while children play nearby with youthful exuberance. These resilient individuals embody the spirit of early Texans who embraced both opportunity and challenges presented by this burgeoning industry. The wooden shacks that dot the scene serve as reminders of simpler times when life was intimately connected to nature's elements. Despite modest living conditions, these structures provided shelter for those seeking prosperity in an era defined by rapid growth. This remarkable print from The Granger Collection captures not only a specific moment in time but also reflects upon Texas' rich heritage rooted in its vast natural resources.
