Excerpt from Old Times in Oildom
I wish to say to my readers that I have but two reasons for writing this little book. The first reason is that eleven articles were written to the Oil City Derrick, some years ago, in the way of correspondence. Then I was requested by the business manager of the Derrick Publishing Company, J. N. Perrine, to write more about "Old Times in Oildom." He explained that they would gladly publish it in book form.
My second reason is that I wish to enlighten the present generation regarding the many points of difference between the present time and fifty or seventy-five years ago.
It seems to me to be the duty of those who saw these great changes to hand them down to present and future generations - to those who can never know these things first hand. You will by reading this book learn that it is not a book of fiction, with a single thread running through all of it. Dozens and dozens of different little stories will be found in these brief touches on the history of the progress of our great country and state, and dozens of names of worthy but almost forgotten people will be found here.
The reader should thoroughly understand that the first eleven chapters of this book were written in 1896-1897. The additional chapters were written in 1909.
