Exhibition Label: "Claimed: Land Use in Western America," Jun-2007, Kate Meyer “As a resource, oil had the distinctive quality of fugacity - the capacity to move around - and this led to the ‘rule of capture.’ If a variety of wells were sunk into the same oil field, like straws into a soda, the oil belonged to the party that first removed it from the earth.” Patricia Nelson Limerick, The Legacy of Conquest: The Unbroken Past of the American West, 1987
