Cowboys at Work This 1920s home movie from the Ross S. Sterling Collection captures ranch hands herding cattle through stockyard pens. Sterling established the Humble Oil & Refining Company, a predecessor of what is now Exxon-Mobil, in 1911. He also owned two Houston-area newspapers, the Houston Dispatch and Houston Post, and served as Governor of Texas from 1931 to 1933.
