FROM THE PUBLISHER
Cushing boomed out of the Sac and Fox lands nearly overnight with
the development of the oil fields in that area. Mrs. Wells
accurately documented the exciting boom times in Cushing, and its
founding in 1891.
The development of its profitable oil field during the 1910’s
resulted in the establishment of 710 wells producing 72,000,000
barrels of oil annually by 1915. Cushing mushroomed in population
and services to keep pace.
