332 pages. tan buckram cloth hardcovers with black lettering, upper corners lightly bumped; Sarcastic title in that the book covers the corruption widespread throughout Montana industry, law and politics of the era. The lengthy subtitle is as follows: Being an Account of the Conquest of America's Treasure State by Allied Corporate Combine, the Confiscation of its Resources, the Subjugation of its People, and the Corruption of Free Government to the uses of Lawless Enterprise and Organized Greed employed in "Big Business". An excerpt from the first chapter: "It is today more dangerous in the state of Montana to steal a horse than to loot a bank or to bribe a legislative majority, chiefly because the Vigilantes failed to furnish a precedent in justice for bank looting and legislative corruption as they did for horse thieving". There were two first editions- one in wraps and a fancier one in the above described binding format. Both are very scarce but the hardcover seems to be the most difficult to obtain.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book documents Montana's transformation from a rugged frontier full of promise to a feudal playground for the wealthy. The author traces the state's history from the vigilante justice of the gold rush era to the corporate greed that eventually came to dominate much of its economy and government. Through the stories of larger-than-life characters like copper magnate Marcus Daly and mining entrepreneur William A. Clark, the book paints a vivid picture of the interplay between individual ambition, political corruption, and the struggle for control over Montana's vast natural resources. By showing how the forces that shaped Montana mirrored the larger trends that transformed the nation, the author presents a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked power and the importance of preserving the values of the frontier. This well-researched and engaging narrative is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the American West or the ongoing fight against the influence of big money in politics.
