Tom Swift and His Great Oil Gusher
(1924)(The Treasure of Goby Farm)
(Book 27 in the Tom Swift series)A novel by Victor Appleton (House Name) (Howard Garis)
Spring has sprung. It's been 6 months since the adventures in Greenland, and the time has now come to get down to the business of making money. Swift Construction has undertaken a contract, at the behest of Mr. Damon, to make oil well drilling equipment for a group of Texas wildcatters. In short order, it is found that these fellows are "shady characters." They have to be watched constantly by Ned Newton, the Swift CFO, to keep them from pulling various financial shenanigans. There's also a matter of a "cad" snuffling around Tom's sweetie, Mary Nestor. That he is one of the Terrible Texas Trio, is added fuel to the fire.--J P Karenko, Goodreads.
