Story of Jim Parker in early Alleghany oil boom
The Bradford Star recounts Jim Parker's meteoric rise from nearly penniless to wealth during the 1881 Allegheny oil strike. He bought a lease in Richburg with borrowed funds, traded up to $10,000 quickly, faced years of hardships, then secured a new lease in Kinzua. After contracting a well, he slept in the derrick and ate from drillers’ pails until the well proved a gusher last week, yielding about $18,000 in net profit.
