what patilla higgins' vision was for gladys city. so he can the cartographer, they plotted out the city and you can see that there was much given to gladys city oil, gas, and manufacturing company. there were places for homes and schools. and then what he believed would be the oilfields and manufacturing areas. if you look up here at the top, you'll see this is a picture of gladys as a child, gladys bingham. and then right next to it, you can see that the vision was more about manufacturing in an industrial area than it was about oil production. i will say that after the lucas gusher came in, their stock certificates and letterhead changed very quickly to have the oil derricks out there in the oil field because their purpose changed very quickly when the well came in. >> why didn't this vision ever come to fruition? >> well, i think when you had so many people rushing in, and, you know, everybody wanted to make their dollar on this huge event that was coming, and if you think about it, especially in this area, just a few months prior

everything that i heard about patilla higgins and what motivated him was to be somebody. i think he had a real need to find his place in history and to do big things and to do great things. and, sometimes, he made it, even later in life, he continued to wildcat for oil, going out to all over texas, to find new well sites, many of them are still producing today that he found, and spent most of his life trying to convince people in different parts of texas that, for sure there was oil. so he was on -- i would almost call it a personal crusade to be believed, to be taken seriously about his ideas and to be respected. while most of our collection into early 1900, we do dip a bit into the 1920s and 1930s with a few really special pieces. this is a 1931 model a ford that belonged to patilla higgins, he drove it for nearly 25 years after he drove his model t for over 25 years. so he drove this car all over texas as he continued to search for oil and wildcat different wells all throughout the state. i believe it's not on there i believe it's not on there any more, but he actually
