A Celebration, 100 years to the day, hour, and minute. 

 

Framed Wall Hanging with a beautiful color picture of the the Replica Gusher, started by former President George  Bush.

There were three men working at the well, Curt Hamill was up in the derrick feeding pipe while his brother, Al Hamill and  Peck Byrd were working on the derrick floor.

Mud started bubbling over the rotary table.  They backed away.  Curt slid down the derrick ladder.  All was silent. ...then like a cannon shot, mud, pipe, gas and blackgreen Oil gushed up thru the derrick.     A Geyser of Oil like the world had ever seen...  The Texas Oil Age had begun.

One Hundred Years to the day, hour and minute,  A Celebration.  A replica well was started  by former President George Bush
