Watch Dreamers and Gamblers: Spirit of the Pioneer Wildcatters

In the early 20th century, the oil and gas industry was driven by men of almost mythological stature--wildcatters--brave men who built an industry from dirt and mud, heart and spirit, grit and passion, often living as wildly as they worked. These maverick wildcatters turned the Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas area into one of the most vital and exciting centers of petroleum in the United States.

Dreamers and Gamblers: Spirit of the Pioneer Wildcatters is a 2007 documentary with a runtime of 46 minutes.
