barely twenty one years old In 1 1 1753 53 Washington was sent by Gover Gov Governor Gov er nor Dinwiddie iddie of Virginia into th the fa far northwestern wilderness wilderness-that wilderness that is northwestern to Pennsylvania to to w warthe warn war n the French that they must cease the their efforts to occupy that region Recent Recen researches have hav given g ven a new cal significance to that expedition during ing which Washington always ay t reckless reckless of f his bIs personal s safety f ty ha had I Ione one 0 of his narrow escapes escape from death deal I at the hands of or a treacherous Indian Indian India I guide The French at that time tithe occupied Canada and claimed the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys Though the fringe fring of or English speaking colonies alon along

to occupy northwestern northwester Pennsylvania partly because it wa was known even thon to be rich in petro petro- leum Regions Region's Wealth Known Pioneers and missionaries missionaries English English English Eng Eng- lish French German and lId Dutch had all reported to their governments government I that the petroleum was of great potential potential potential po po- po- po value T There Chere is te however no reason to believe that Washington knew of its existence or value until his adventure of 1753 Then he leaned lean lea n ned ed that the oil had long been used by bythe bythe bythe the Indians and the pioneering whites for fuel ruel and light for medicine and in making war paint Washington was wasso wasso wasso so much Impressed with its possibilities ties that he later became owner of a large area of oil bearing lands Although Although Although Al Al- though the tile petroleum industry in Its modern form was vas then undreamed of o Washington was so sure that a fortune for tune resided in his oil bearing lands that in his will he listed them as his tits most valuable holdings In the property property property prop prop- erty schedule attached to the will wUl he lie wrote This tract was taken up by General Gen eral Lewis and myself on account of tho the bituminous spring which It contains contains contains con con- of so inflammable a n nature as asto asto to burn as freely as spirits and as I nearly neaIly difficult to extinguish The Will o or Washington I S Sonic Some me historians declare that in an earlier will Washington dedicated this burning s spring to the public At any rate it had passed from his ownership own before his death Ho He sold Bold th this s st t tract act for but suspecting It might revert to his estate under a n mortgage he ho warned his heirs that should it if do so EO it would be worth much more than the OO Although Washington's first knowledge knowledge knowl knowl- edge of petroleum was gained within as n a few miles of the place where the fl first st oil oU well iu in the world was was that first we well J was not opened until one hundred and six years later 1859 In that year Edwin Laurentine Drake bored borod
