Reading Alberta Oil History

My note the other day on Aubrey Kerr put me in touch with David Finch, Calgary historian and stalwart of the Petroleum History Society. I'd connected to Kerr some years ago while searching for histories of Alberta oil. In that line, looks like the place to start might be Finch's recent book Pumped: Everyone's Guide to the Oil Patch (details here include the preface by Andrew Nikoforuk and a link to Finch's oil-history blog).
