Opis

In the 1920s, the law of oil and gas in Texas was a frontier: raw and unsettled. As assistant attorney general in charge of the land desk, Smith found himself a fascinated observer and an active player in some of the most important cases in the history of Texas land and oil law. In this autobiography he lays out the the facts of the cases he argued and why he won, while presenting the arguments of his opponents in a fair light.
