Texas, Oklahoma, New Jersey and the Arabian desert, 1901 to 2003. These are the men who did the thing the rest of the series says does not work: they owned the ground. Monty Moncrief drilled twenty-nine dry holes before the thirtieth came in. H. L. Hunt bought an exhausted promoter's leases over the largest field in the country for seventy-five thousand dollars down. J. Paul Getty paid nine and a half million for a stretch of desert nobody else would bid for. Leon Hess began with one secondhand truck; Siggi Wilzig arrived from Auschwitz with two hundred and forty dollars. Several of them became very rich. The question is what it took, what it cost, and what each of them had to buy before the ground would hold him. Covers Monty Moncrief, H. L. Hunt, J. Paul Getty, Leon Hess, Siggi Wilzig, Tidewater Associated Oil, Amerada, and Texas Railroad Commission.
