1996. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Local. Fountain and Fall. Biography. Good Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Book in very good condition but it is an ex-library edition with markings. Jacket protected by mylar cover. About the book: Two of the most colorful, influential, and controversial figures in southern Territorial New Mexico were Albert Jennings Fountain and Albert Bacon Fall. Fountain arrived in southern Territorial New Mexico with the California Column during the Civil War and made his mark twenty-five years before Fall's arrival. Fall, born during the Civil War, ventured westward to seek his fortune as a miner. Both brought with them dominant personalities, an ability with words, a flair for leadership, and an endless enthusiasm for their adopted land. They were instrumental in shaping the growth, economics, law, government, and politics of Territorial New Mexico. Devoted to their families and their political parties, both rose to the top of New Mexico politics and Fall served as a U.S. Senator and a Cabinet Secretary. Political opponents and bitter personal enemies, they locked horns almost from Fall's arrival in the Territory until Fountain's disappearance. In spite of their political and legal successes, both lives ended in tragedy. Fountain and his 9-year-old son Henry disappeared near the San Andres Mountains while returning from Lincoln, New Mexico. Their bodies have never been recovered and their fate is one of Southern New Mexico's most intriguing unsolved mysteries. Fall died an ill and broken man as a result of the Teapot Dome Scandal. Owen has meticulously researched what has been written by and about these two men to provide an unbiased analysis of their lives and contributions, and their interactions with each other.

Description:
Las Cruces, NM: Yucca Tree Press, 1996 Yucca Tree Press, Las Cruces, NM. 1996. Hardcover. Stated First Printing. Signed by the author on the title page. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: As New. DJ: As New. Rust colored cloth boards and spine with bright gilt lettering on the spine. 561 pp 8vo. Next to the killing of Billy, the Kid, the killing of COL Albert Fall stands out in NM history. Albert J. Fountain, and Albert B. Fall were among the most important leaders in Territorial Southern NM history. They were political opponents instrumental in shaping the growth, economics, law, government, and politics of early NM. Fall was linked to the killing of Fountain and his son, Henry, over cattle rustling but never convicted. Still he met his demise in the Teapot Dome fiasco of the Harding administration when he was the Secretary of the Interior. A clean pristine copy.
