Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. First edition. Book and dust jacket have very light wear. Illustrated with b & w photos, one chart and one map. Includes extensive notes, bibliography and index. Book traces the intense legal struggle between the feds, state and local governments, railroads and the coal interests over how the diminishing public domain lands would be controlled. Taniguchi "uncovers the workings of judges and politicians, big business and bureaucracy" and gives evidence that shows President Teddy R. to be not the big trust buster as he is less and less portrayed as time goes on. Nice copy. Seller Inventory # 000605

DJ placed inside protective archival sleeve. ; From dust jacket flap: In the late 1800s and early 1900s, the State of Utah was the federal choice for what was intended to be a definitive antitrust suit aimed at quelling the power of western railroads over coal lands in the diminishing public domain. The government did not achieve this primary objective, but through decades of litigation it did force the passage of a realistic coal-land law and develop precedents for its application. Using century-old photographs and copious documentation, Nancy J. Taniguchi creates a legal history of land fraud in Utah's turn-of-the-century coal fields that intertwines national, regional, and local events. Necessary Fraud transcends parachialism to become a compelling exposition on the era of progressive reform. ; Legal History of North America; Vol. 3; 336 pages; Signed by Author. Signed by Author(s).
