Peralta Land Grant Mystery: Saga of Fraud (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780595328741)

The greatest land swindle ever attempted in our nation's history has remained clouded in myth and mystery--until now. The Peralta Land Grant Mystery: Saga of Fraud shatters these long-standing myths as it reveals an intricate, devious plan to acquire thousands of acres spanning a large portion of the Arizona and New Mexico Territories.

History has recorded the Baron of Arizona, James Addison Reavis, as the mastermind of this scheme. Yet, this manuscript unveils the entanglement of well-known politicians and businessmen during the western expansion of the 1800s. It is a much more fantastic and gripping story than the "romanticized" versions offered by Hollywood or published historical works.
