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.

DESCRIPTION - The California gold rush of 1849 created fortunes for San Francisco merchants, whose wealth depended on control of the city's docks. But ownership of waterfront property was hotly contested. In an 1856 dispute over land titles, an outspoken newspaperman shot a county official, prompting a group of merchants to organize the San Francisco Committee of Vigilance. The committee, which met in secret, fed biased stories to the newspapers, depicting itself as a necessary substitute for incompetent law enforcement. But its actual purpose was quite different. In Dirty Deeds, historian Nancy J. Taniguchi draws on the 1856 Committee's minutes - long lost until she unearthed them - to present the first clear picture of its actions and motivations. San Francisco's real estate comprised a patchwork of land grants left from the Spanish and Mexican governments - grants that had been appropriated and sold over and over. Even after the establishment of a federal board in 1851 to settle the complicated California claims, land titles remained confused, and most of the land in the city belonged to no one. The acquisition of key waterfront properties in San Francisco by an ambitious politician motivated the thirty-odd merchants who called themselves the Executives of the Vigilance Committee to go directly after these parcels. Despite the organization's assertion of working on behalf of law and order, its tacticskidnapping, forced deportations, and even murderwent far beyond the bounds of law. For more than a century, scholars have accepted the vigilantes' self-serving claims to honorable motives. Dirty Deeds tells the real story, in which a band of men took over a city in an attempt to control the most valuable land on the West Coast. Ranging far beyond San Francisco, the 1856 Vigilance Committee's activities affected events on the East Coast, in Central America, and in courts throughout the United States even after the Civil War. inventory #47675.

Condition: FINE. First printing. From the dust jacket "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. . . 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. . . [which] reveals for the first time the depth of involvement of both the state of Utah and the Mormon Church in the land frauds." Warmly INSCRIBED on the title page and dated in the year of publication. Volume Three in the series Legal History of North America. Map, photographs, notes, selected bibliography, index. xvi, 319 pp. Fine in fine dust jacket.
