Petroleum entrepreneurs.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/61936424

Presents the oral histories of eight men involved in the development of southern California oil fields. The narrators talk about what attracted them, or their families, to southern California and how they became involved in oil related businesses that centered in the Long Beach or Signal Hill area, but also served clients in surrounding oil fields. Some of them invested in real estate and oil wells while others experimented with new technological ideas. These innovations led to the development of an efficient oil well survey device and improved fishing tools.
