{"product_id":"humble-dr-robert-meaux-9781467131001","title":"Humble","description":"Humble was originally established as a sawmill town along the Houston East \u0026amp; West Texas Railway in 1886. It was named for Pleasant Smith Humble, the town's first US postmaster. Humble became a boomtown overnight when oil was discovered in 1904. Humble and neighboring Moonshine Hill became places where million-dollar fortunes were made and lost. In 1911, the Humble Oil Company was founded by Ross Sterling and other men from the Humble oil fields. Sterling went on to become governor of Texas in 1931. The Humble Oil Company became one of the dominant oil companies in the world, eventually becoming Exxon in 1972.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Meaux, The Humble Museum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1467131008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467131001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/16\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.24h x 6.61w x 0.31d","brand":"Robert Meaux","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985652089087,"sku":"9781467131001","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0ddd85ba-e011-4302-87bd-418760a840a4.jpg?v=1683278769","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/humble-dr-robert-meaux-9781467131001","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
