BBC Radio Ulster - Assume Nothing, Oil in the Blood, Episode 3: Black Gold in Mexico

Doheny strikes it rich in Mexico, but rumours of bribery also surface.

Sent south by a railway company in search of oil, Doheny and Canfield head into the jungles west of Tampico on horseback and soon discover vast tracts of untapped land. 

They quickly build a vast oil empire on a colossal scale, but questions arise about Doheny’s dealings with the Mexican government - and a terrible tragedy calls Canfield back to Los Angeles
