Gib Morgan

Gib Morgan
Гиб Морган
Герой фольклора нефтяников Пенсильвании, старый хитрец и хвастун. По преданию, построил крышу над своей нефтяной вышкой, "чтобы фонтан не пробил дырку в небе". Однажды разрезал ненужную нефтяную скважину на кусочки и продал фермерам на ямки для столбов изгороди (эту же историю рассказывают и про Пола Баньяна [Paul Bunyan]). Имел реального прототипа [Morgan, Gilbert] (?-1909), который большинство историй сочинил о себе сам
