From the discovery of the Sagninaw field in 1925 to the present day, the drilling and production of crude oil and natural gas have played an important role in Michigan's economy. Containing b&w archival photographs with detailed captions, this volume traces the local history of the industry. Westbrook is the retired managing editor of the Michigan Oil & Gas News magazine. Many of the images reproduced here originally appeared in that publication. (Annotation ©2007 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
