Grand dad was a natural gas/oil driller in Oklahoma from about 1900-30.
Here is a picture of him with his best friend Shorty (who married Grand dad's first cousin). They would live pretty much off the land and stay out drilling for weeks on end. The portable forge is in the backgound, they had to make all repairs on site. I don't know who took this picture (1920's) but I'm glad they did.

Grand dad is getting ready to hit Shorty in the head with a wrench.
Never met him so this picture is important to me.
