Kendy’s Quotes

“Anyone who studies the history of American commerce or warfare should be interested in Burning Springs, nicknamed "Oiltown." This was the site of the first oil well in West Virginia, drilled in 1860, just one year after the nation's first well was opened in Pennsylvania.”
― Clint Johnson, Touring Virginia's and West Virginia's Civil War Sites
