Spindletop, famed Texas oil field discovered in 1901 by the Lucas gusher, will be celebrated October 9 to 11 in Beaumont by the Texas Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Association. A large monument to the Lucas gusher and pioneers will be dedicated, modeled in Texas granite, the second tallest in the state after the San Jacinto memorial, highlighting the field that sparked the modern petroleum industry. Leading oilmen from across the country will take part, with the convention program and entertainment driven by the anniversary theme.
