Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book thoroughly investigates the tumultuous years in California during which the state's constitution was being shaped, focusing on the 1880 investigation into the corruption surrounding the construction of the state prison in San Quentin. The author uses extensive research and evidence from the investigation's committee to highlight the rampant fraud and corruption that was uncovered. The book not only provides a gripping historical account of these events, but also delves into the motivations and actions of those involved, exploring the broader historical and political context of the time. By exposing the vast network of power, patronage, and self-dealing, the book demonstrates how the misguided handling of the prison project mirrored the larger issues of political corruption and misuse of public funds that plagued California in the 1870s and 1880s.
