Re <<first Civil War>>
Ah, yes, that one, the first one, civil war of a sort, am somewhat more familiar with the actions and counteractions, because it was a bit more 'international' and family participated in the rumble ... drawn to it to help, for the greater-good, doubtless. We seem to be draw to excitement and I am excited about Message 33474017 and for now shall deliberately figure that the for the greater-good includes me. Should it not appear to be so, I fold and am out. Giddy with anticipation.

The lineage represented by the tombstone of the first family of Ganteaumes in Mayaro includes admirals and captains, planters and slaves, legislators, ministers of government and the church, clergymen, businessmen, judges, media moguls, derby winners, sportsmen ... ... These descendants include not just the Ganteaumes as business magnate Peter Ganteaume; clergyman Father Ganteaume and cricketeer Andy Ganteaume; but also the Seigerts (the founding family of the world-famous Angostura Bitters), the Pantins (including deceased Archbishop Anthony Pantin, Father Gerard Pantin and Minister of Education Clive Pantin), Rostants, Bessons, de Verteuil, de Silva, de la Bastide, Quesnel, and de Monteau among them. It also bears relations to Spanish/Venezuelan lineages of the Torres; of Portuguese origina as de Freitas and Carvalho and British heritage as the Hamel-Smiths as well as Agostinis, O’Connors, Guisseppis and Ciprianis and Scotts and those of Chinese lineage as the Chens among others.
... and no, we did not help America with the railroad tracks nor, strangely, with the subsequent gold rush.
was doing black liquid gold rush much further down south ... the dots ...

Eugene's 'valuable properties' were in cooperation w/ his maternal uncle, John Lee Lum, by the rule-of-law side - we like rule of law, and we like rule of lawless. We just want to know the applicable rules.
we tend to know a good thing when presented with it :0)
John also minted money and moved money by family shops trinidadexpress.com <<Also on display are tokens made by private employers or companies for use instead of coins, such as a set issued by Edward Lee Lum, a Trinidadian-Chinese businessman and pioneer of the oil industry.>>
We are familiar w/ tokens. They work well, when protected by operation of law and protocol-law.

Trinidad’s First Commercial Success in Oil
At the beginning of the next century, 1901, the development of Guayaguayare into a commercial field began by both Mr. Randolph Rust and Mr. Lee lum who owned adjacent properties in that area. The operation of making Guayaguayare an oil field was funded by Canadian financial banking. At the time Rust encountered much difficulties in transporting the equipment to the drilling site since roads were not yet developed. As the time proceeded, routes to Guayaguayare improved, the equipment were transported to the site by towing it from Port-of-Spain and then hauled by men over bush infested lands and over rough clay roads. Rust employed Canadian drillers with a group of villagers mainly from Mayaro and Guayaguayare villages.

In 1902, the first well was drilled using the Canadian pole system of percussion drilling. The well was recorded to be 1,015 feet deep; producing 100 barrels of per day. It was recorded that 8 more wells were drilled, wells at depths below 600 feet being drilled with the method of rotary drilling. Although there were a number of producers, funds were exhausted and Guayaguayare was abandoned without making a commercial shipment due to the fact that transportation of the oil out of the field being one of the major difficulties.
Rust encouraged the government to get a Geologist to develop surface maps of Trinidad, with the intentions of searching for locations for oil drilling. A Geologist named Cunningham-Craig was brought to Trinidad in 1904 to develop the surface maps. Along with Rust and Cunningham-Craig, an experienced engineer named A. Beedy Thompon was brought to Trinidad to assist since he was an engineer at the British oil companies in Russia.
Craig’s survey displayed great potential for oil drilling in the Point Fortin region, here Beedy began construction of the base for the Trinidad oil syndicate in 1906. During the time of construction, staff and employees suffered greatly from malaria and yellow fever. In 1907, drilling in the Point Fortin region began where a number of shallow producers were completed by percussion drilling. With great productivity, the thoughts of a larger company was being entertained. This was due to the fact that the admiralty were getting anxious to securing oil supplies under British control for the royal Navy. They seeked oil supplies as a fuel source for their new ships. In 1901, Trinidad oilfields limited was developed as a result of the fuel source. Beedy Thompson proceeded in securing more land for oil discovery and in 1911-1912, a number of wells drilled in the Parry lands producing 10,000 barrels per day at depths of 1,400 feet. Trinidad’s first commercial success was achieved by the Trinidad oil fields limited. In 1913, the Trinidad oilfield limited was over taken by United British oilfields limited.
