Athabasca Oil Sands: Northern Resource Exploration, 1875-1951 - Ferguson, Barry Glen

Clean, tight, unmarked; light wear to inside corners; otherwise very minimal wear; The history of oil sands development in the Athabasca River Bituminous Sands region of Alberta encompasses a relatively short era, but one peopled with men of vision, genius and character. Using the available primary sources, mostly previously unpublished government records, Ferguson examines the ways in which men have perceived the importance of the bituminous or oil sands, and surveys their attempts to exploit the sands for nearly a century. Illustrated with photographs and maps.
