Sobre este artículo
Boston: Houghton Mifflin - The Riverside Press, 1964. Second Printing . Printed Russett Boards. Near Fine/Very Good. 8 5/16" Tall. This is a well-paced, well-researched account of the formation of the Committee of Vigilance by group of San Francisco citizens in 1851, how they succeeded in quelling the crime wave that prompted their organization (among the culprits were "Sydney ducks" - Australian ex-felons), and how they voluntarily dismantled themselves in 100 days, after their work had been completed. A rare strong example of beneficial community usurpation of police powers. 339 pages, with map, contemporary illustrations. Postscript, Retrospect, Sources and Acknowledgments, Notes, and Index; plus vii pages Contents, and Illustrations. DJ shows slight wear and discoloration; boards are clean and sound; text is clean and strong.
