In the introduction to this 262 page collection, the author notes the dazzling figures cut by the oil field workers of the 50's. And some young ladies opted to follow these slayers of dragons. About 50 informants tell their stories. READ more about : Drayton Valley and Violet Grove. Also : Schlumberger, High Tower Drilling, Leduc, 1948, Sammy Walker, camp job, four quarters, winch line, bush roads, and Maple Creek. Section of b/w photos at center. Cond : Buff coloured front panel with an idyllic photo of a drilling rig, cattle, and grain stooks. Tight in binding. Light edge wear. Several pages with pink ink underlining. Excellent reading copy ! QUote (p. 113) : " After being there four or five days, the weather really got mild and then it took us a whole day to get out because even the cat got stuck, attempting to pull our equipment out. We had to pick up a long cable in Kinuso and go back to ._._._. . ".
