Garden City, NY: Doubleday and Company, 1966 Doubleday and Company, Garden City, NY. 1966. Hardcover. Stated First Edition. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Near Fine; light scratches on text block top. DJ: Good+; NOT Price Clipped ($5.95); moisture wrinkle to rear panel at bottom; lightly sunned spine; light wear at tips, head, and tail. Gray cloth boards and spine with black lettering in red shadowbox on the spine.301 pp 8vo. This book is about Judge Edward McGowan and the San Francisco Vigilantes of 1856. This unelected group terrorized the city with secret courts, unlimited powers of search and seizure and a mob schooled by a bought press. Judge McGowan fought the vigilantes almost single-handedly but systematic falsification has stained his record until now when the truth is out in the open. A clean very presentable copy.
