Excerpt from The Long FightN Oil City there was but one street, which was plainly inadequate for the present necessities and future expectations of the place. It was a broad street, beginning at the railroad and blending into the grey prairie at the ridge of the hill, half a mile or more to the east.But long as it was, and broad, it could not con tain all the houses of the town, and nobody seemed to be interested in plotting other thoroughfares and aligning the unplaced abodes, and so they hovered on the flanks of Oil City's Broadway as if they had spattered down in a shower. Most of them had grown from the nucleus of wagon or tent, and either a wagon or a tent was still prominent in the long run of them, like germinal nodules in some un lovely growth.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
