“Tol” Barret, brought in
Texas’ first oil well about
twelve miles southeast of
Nacogdoches. Tol Barret
tried to drill a well at the
same site in early 1859,
which would have been the
fir^t oil well in the U.S.
(the first came in August
1859 in Pennsylvania), but
lack of machinery and the
start of the Civil War
halted his plans. When he
bored the well in 1866,
Barret used an eight-foot
auger that was eight
inches in diameter and
steam driven. A mule with
a rope tied to his harness
was used to pull the auger
to the surface. When the
auger reached 106 feet,
gas, water, and oil came to
the surface. Texas’ first
well produced about 10
barrels of oil a day.
Immediately Barret left
for Pennsylvania to seek
financial backing for his
venture. Brown Brothers
of Titusville sent a re-
presentative with $5,000
worth of machinery to
develop the oil; however,
on the day the machinery
arrived, word came from
the company to shut down
the operation-unsettled
