Excerpt from Professor Silliman's Report Upon the Oil Property of the Philadelphia and California Petroleum Company of Philadelphia, Situated in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles Counties, California: To Which Are Added Extracts From the Field Notes Made on a Survey and Exploration for a Rail Road, in 1850 and 1857 This great territory is all Within the geological limits Where oil may be reasonably looked for and Where (which is much more to the point) it is found. It falls Within the boundaries of the Cretaceous and Tertiary beds of the Coast Range, and is traversed or bounded by ranges of mountains and hills forming lines of disturbance or upheaval along Which, as I have elsewhere explained, the oil outcrops in California may, in most cases be reasonably looked for.

An “insightful” account of the early fossil fuel industry, the rise of the professional consultant, and the nexus between science and money (Technology and Culture). In this impressively researched, highly original work, Paul Lucier explains how science became an integral part of American technology and industry in the nineteenth century. Scientists and Swindlers introduces us to a new service of professionals: the consulting scientists. Lucier follows these entrepreneurial men of science on their wide-ranging commercial engagements from the shores of Nova Scotia to the coast of California and shows how their innovative work fueled the rapid growth of the American coal and oil industries and the rise of American geology and chemistry. Along the way, he explores the decisive battles over expertise and authority, the high-stakes court cases over patenting research, the intriguing and often humorous exploits of swindlers, and the profound ethical challenges of doing science for money. Starting with the small surveying businesses of the 1830s and reaching to the origins of applied science in the 1880s, Lucier recounts the complex and curious relations that evolved as geologists, chemists, capitalists, and politicians worked to establish scientific research as a legitimate, regularly compensated, and respected enterprise. This sweeping narrative enriches our understanding of how the rocks beneath our feet became invaluable resources for science, technology, and industry.
