Synopsis
The nineteenth century was the golden era of riverboat gamblers, crooked railroad contractors, and filthy-rich medical quacks. These crooks made a living deceiving people who took a stranger at face value and left their doors unlocked. Throw in some get-rich-quick schemes and a generous mixture of whiskey and there was never a shortage of suckers. Conman George Parker was able to stay in business for forty years by "selling" public structures such as Madison Square Garden and the Statue of Liberty. He even "sold" the Brooklyn Bridge as often as twice a week. Most of the popular cons of the time were simple. Anyone with an honest face, a believable story, and a lack of morals could do quite well. For most, the Salted Gold Mine or the Magic Wallet cons were enough to satisfy their greed. However, the more ambitious grifters tried the Big Store, an illegal, underground betting parlor such as the one seen in the movie The Sting. Whatever their methods, these confidence men ushered the American West out of a time of innocence and into the Roaring Twenties., This rollicking history covers oil and mining frauds, town-site frauds, land swindles, and railroad rackets of the Old West era, many of which occurred in Nevada, Arizona, and California. It even includes a swindler's dictionary, defining such insider terms as ace, banco, country send, and wipe., This rollicking history covers oil and mining frauds, town-site frauds, land swindles, and railroad rackets of the Old West era, many of which occurred in Nevada, Arizona, and California.

    Book in perfect new condition/appearance and a great value at this price; the packaging was of the usual thoughtful protective sort that I've come to expect from this seller; and the shipping was super-duper fast, again, as always. I've purchased many books from this seller and have never been less than thrilled with any of them. Thanks again, fine Gardner folks!

    The Folio book I have been looking for for years arrived yesterday! It was beautifully packaged and is in perfect condition. The seller kept me informed and updated on each step of the sale and the book arrives sooner than expected. I will definitely be back to check Gardner’s Used Books for other fine books as I am updating my entire library to hardback, well made books. The price was reasonable compared with other sellers too! Happy customer here!
