Higgins had founded oil and thought that it would be a good fuel source and that could mean that a busy city could and would be able to absolutely develop such thing. He was a mechanic and lumber merchant once but he couldn't persuade geologists or investors that oil was actually a thing that was on this very earth. Pattillo never gave up though because after that, there was another man that also believed and said that oil existed in Spindletop, his name was Captain Anthony F. Lucas. Higgins believed in Anthony because he had seen it as well, and so he supported him. __Citations:__ Info: Danzer, Gerald A. The Americans. Evanston, IL: McDougal Littell/Houghton Mifflin, 1998.
