Then Came Oil: The Story Of The Last Frontier

""Then Came Oil: The Story of the Last Frontier"" by C.B. Glasscock is a fascinating account of the discovery and development of oil in Alaska.

Glasscock provides detailed information about the key players involved in the oil boom, including the oil companies, government officials, and native Alaskans. He also explores the environmental impact of oil drilling and the complex political and economic issues that surrounded the development of Alaska's oil resources.
