Hugh N. Shaw |
Hugh Nixon Shaw became famous for bringing in the first "gusher" or "wild well" in the world. Hugh started out painting and decorating the hulls of ships, later became a shopkeeper, joined the gold rush, and finally ended his quest as an oil driller in Lambton County.
Follow Shaw's story and learn how he found his oil on the exact day that he had decided to call it quits, and how he would die in his own well. |
