Hard Oil!

How the Canadians Discovered Oil

The Story

The story of the early Canadian oil industry from its start in Petrolia and Oil Springs, Ontario, from about 1850 to 1900. Dramatic re-creations blend with archival photographs and diaries to tell the rags-to-riches-to-rags tale of a boom that went bust.
