Historically referred to as the "Gardiner Claim" it involved two Gardiner brothers who concocted a false claim that Mexico had destroyed their profitable silver mines in Mexico which they never owned during the war in order to secure a payout. Mexico fell for the scheme and awarded the Gardners a lot of money. The mines were discovered to be a myth and so the investigations began in 1851 ultimately ending in convictions in 1854. An interesting and scarce artifact of American history!</p> Beverly Tucker, Printer to the Senate hardcover
