As Assistant Attorney General in charge of the land desk, Edgar Smith found himself a fascinated observer and an active player in some the most important cases in the history of Texas land and oil law. This is Edgar Smith's legal autobiography. In it, he lays out the the facts of the cases he argued and why he won, while presenting the arguments of his opponents in a fair light.The cases he covers include Capitol Syndicate case, Red River Boundary case, Relinquishment Act, case of the \"So-called Oil Leases\" and more. Smith went on to work for Baker, Botts \u0026amp; Parker \u0026amp; Garwood (now Baker Botts) and includes a concise history of the firm, as well as an excellent character sketch of Judge Garwood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edgar Freeman Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0982982879\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780982982877\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Copano Bay Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/10\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.94d","brand":"Edgar Freeman Smith","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43927002153215,"sku":"9780982982877","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3b976d33-db3b-4603-a35d-0dfe09f172bb.jpg?v=1681086240","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-saga-of-texas-land-edgar-freeman-smith-9780982982877","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
