THE STORY of Jed Clampett is, by now, a legend. A poor mountaineer, he could barely feed his family of four, but one day, while he was out hunting for food, he fired his rifle into the swamp behind his shack - and struck oil.
The sale of the resource-rich land, in 1962, would eventually net him between US$25 million and US$100 million, and he did what anyone with sudden riches would do: he packed up his truck and moved his clan to Beverly Hills, where their adventures would be the subject of nine seasons of The Beverly Hillbillies.
