"Jerome's modern history began in 1876 when three prospectors staked claims on rich copper deposits. They sold out to a group which formed the United Verde Copper Company in 1883. The resultant mining camp of board and canvas shacks was named in honor of Eugene Jerome the venture's principal backer. Hopes for the enterprise ran high but the costs of operating especially for transportation outstripped profits and the company folded in less than two years. It took the vision and vast financial resources of a new owner William A. Clark to bring in a narrow gauge railroad and reduce freighting costs. By the early 20th century the United Verde was the largest producing copper mine in the Arizona Territory. Jerome was becoming a frame and brick town and could boast two churches an opera house a school and several civic buildings." from Jerome State Historical Park website ; Signed by Author .

A tight and pristine facsimile reprint Facsimile 48 of the 1914 first edition reviewed by James I.

This copy bears fine autograph addition: Tipped to inner flyleaf is a Typed Letter Signed from E.B. "Pete" Long 1919-81 1p 8½" X 11" Laramie WY 1978 January 11. Addressed to noted Lincoln and Civil War scholar Arnold F. Gates 1914-93. Near fine. On "University of Wyoming" letterhead Long commiserates at length with his friend about the Lincoln book "The Lincoln Conspiracy" whose outrageous untruths and inaccuracies had the serious Lincoln scholarly community up in arms -- so much so that Gates long-time literary editor of the "Lincoln Herald" resigned his position there in protest since the publisher of the Herald Lincoln Memorial University gave the authors of this "expose" honorary degrees! Reads in part: "Just when we thought that The Lincoln Herald was under capable hands Gerald McMurtry is gone and you have been forced to resign. It is a sad day. How the people at LMU could have given honorary degrees to the so-called authors of this trash is more than I can fathom. I saw Ralph Newman in Chicago this November and I can only describe his attitude toward their actions as 'furious.' It is all inexplicable disheartening and discouraging. To try for historical accuracy to have principles to follow good historical methodology is quite beyond these charlatans who turn out such profitable junk." Signed simply "Pete" in blue ballpoint.
