Crime of 1873: The Comstock Connection
| Customer Rating: | | I thoroughly enjoyed reading Robert R. Van Ryzin's "CRIME of 1873: THE COMSTOCK CONNECTION". This meticulously researched book offers an original perspective on one of the most colorful chapters in U.S. history. Of particular interest are the previously unpublished letters that expose the collusion of a high government official with a powerful California banker. Interwoven throughout Van Ryzin's story is the lore of gold and silver strikes and the characters who made mining in the West such an important part of American history. This book takes a close look at the creation of the U.S. Trade dollar, the Morgan silver dollar, and the famous Carson City Mint. Van Ryzin's chapter on the Free Silver Movement gives insight into this often misunderstood political movement, led by William Jennings Bryan. With financial wrongdoing ever present in contemporary reporting, the CRIME of 1873 drives home to readers that having the best government money can buy nothing unique to our times. |
