This work examines the life and times of Thomas B. Slick, an oilman of the Mid-Continent Field from 1905 to 1930. Although a unique individual, his life portrayed those independent operators who ...explored and developed the numerous oil pools of Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas. Slick's life reveals much about the times in which he lived and about the conduct of the oil business from 1900-1930. After failing in several attempts to find oil, Slick finally got lucky at Cushing, Oklahoma in 1912. From that point onward his career was highlighted by extraordinary discoveries throughout the Mid-Continent area. He eventually became one of the largest independent oil producers in the nation. Slick also expanded his interests to include railroads, townsite companies, plantations, and many other business ventures. A significant feature of Slick's life was the early role he played in the oil conservation movement in Oklahoma. He strongly advocated the use of unitization and proper well-spacing as means of efficiently producing oil. Slick experimented with these techniques and urged cooperation by oilmen in implementing these plans.
