Item description from seller

561 pp., index, sources, notes, conclusion, maps, illustrations, photographs. A fine tight, sharp cornered copy in a fine, bright dust jacket. Foreword by Leon Metz. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR AND FOREWORD WRITER on the title page with no inscriptions. The author does an excellent job of describing these two political opponents and bitter personal enemies, they locked horns almost from Fall's arrival in the Territory until Fountain's disappearance. In spite of their political and legal successes, both lives ended in tragedy. Fountain and his 9 year-old son Henry disappeared near the San Andres Mountains while returning from Lincoln, New Mexico. Their bodies have never been recovered and their fate is one of Southern New Mexico's most intriguing unsolved mysteries. Fall died an ill and broken man as a result of the Teapot Dome Scandal. The author has researched what has been written by and about these two men to provide an unbiased analysis of their lives and contributions, and their interactions With each other. COLLECTOR QUALITY.
