Oil was as fantastic a wealth as gold had been, and for this reason, it was not for nothing that it was known by the symbolic and somewhat ominous name of "black gold."
Oil was something simpler to discover and exploit than pure gold. It was enough to try your luck and open your mouth where the naphtha gushed out with overwhelming force, to possess the amazing mine that was to produce thousands and thousands of tons and with them, thousands and thousands of dollars, because it barely sprouted from the entrails of the earth the foul liquid, it was not necessary to keep digging day after day to extract the treasure. It was enough to organize the collection of the valuable liquid and exploit its continuous performance.
For this reason, as soon as the news of the first oil discovery spread, hundreds of men eager for quick riches, were amazed by the discovery and launched themselves to open holes with more or less fortune, because the subsoil was bursting with oil and he was wanting to expel it out of his gut.
Black Gold is a story belonging to the Far West collection, a collection of novels developed in the American Wild West.
