Figure 1. Wildcatter Dad Joiner (third from the left) shakes hands with his geologist A.D. Lloyd in front of the Daisy Bradford #3. Joiner had substantially oversold shares in the well based on a bogus prospectus written by Lloyd. Lloyd, whose real name was J.I. Durham, had no training as a geologist and had, among other things, sold patent medicine made from oil in "Dr. Alonzo Durham's Great Medicine Show." No wonder suspicion abounded in the oil business.
