Canada's Victorian Oil Town: The Transformation of Petrolia from Resource Town into a Victorian Community
Christina BurrIn the early 1850s, the oil industry had a major impact on the resource town of Petrolia, Ontario. Christina Burr explores the ways in which the industry provided a common cultural identification that helped Petrolia change from a rough shanty-town of disreputable land speculators and "wildcatters" into an orderly, "civilized" Victorian community.
