Book excerpt: This book reviews the history of oil exploration and production around Livermore, California, from 1868-when oily water started flowing out of a hillside a few miles north-east of Livermore following a major earthquake on the Hayward Fault-to its sunset years. One hundred years of dry holes were followed by discovery of a small oil field. The geology leading to the discovered field and the unsuccessful previous attempts is explained.
