History has recorded the Baron of Arizona, James Addison Reavis, as the mastermind of this scheme. Yet, this manuscript unveils the entanglement of well-known politicians and businessmen during the western expansion of the 1800s. It is a much more fantastic and gripping story than the "romanticized" versions offered by Hollywood or published historical works.
