The publisher's blurb reads: ''Senator William Sharon, 'King of the Comstock' and widowed San Francisco millionaire, parted with a bit of his wealth to buy the company of a succession of young women. The poor but beautiful Sarah Althea Hill claimed that his attraction to her resulted in a marriage contract making her Mrs. William Sharon, entitling her to half of his fortune. The lawsuits plagued both state and federal courts for nearly ten years. From the complete transcripts of the trials an accurate account of the turbulent events leading to the shooting of Justice Terry is given. The author, being a judge, has been meticulous in setting forth the whole true story.'' Stanley Paher states ''The author presents an intimate view of the private lives of the 'Bonanza Kings' and illuminates a by-gone way of life created by the expansive wealth from the Comstock mines.'' Paher's Nevada, Number 1058.
