Part 3/7:
In 1911, Daniel’s life intertwines with the Sunday family after he meets Paul Sunday, who reveals that oil lies beneath his family’s property in Little Boston, California. Although a tough negotiator, Paul manages to strike a deal, selling Daniel the information for five hundred dollars. Soon after, Daniel and H.W. arrive under the guise of quail hunting, forging connections with the Sunday family, including preacher Eli Sunday.
As Daniel dives deeper into the oil business, he learns that the property is indeed promising. He envisions constructing a pipeline to circumvent railroad costs, cementing his place as a burgeoning titan in the industry. However, carnal greed and cunning business tactics push him into conflicts with both the landowners and the Sunday family.
