Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. A pioneering study of land title fraud in 1880s San Francisco, this book reveals a swath of corrupt practices perpetrated by a group known as The Ring. From fabricated Spanish land grants to bribed judges and shady real estate dealings, The Ring, comprised of influential San Francisco citizens, swindled thousands of citizens out of their rightfully owned land. Bribery, forged documents, and murder are among the rampant tactics used to steal, manipulate, and control real estate in San Francisco during an era of phenomenal growth. The author, a prominent attorney who was personally affected by the fraud, exposes the broad-reaching consequences of unchecked greed, corruption, and the lack of government oversight. This historical account, penned with anger and a vengeance born of personal experience, charges the upper echelons of San Francisco society with devastating the city's civic virtue and fostering an atmosphere of dishonesty that would characterize public life in the decades to come. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
