Cat.No: 50416 Vigilantes in gold rush San Francisco. Robert M. Senkewicz, S. J.

Vigilantes in gold rush San Francisco

Stanford: Stanford University Press, 1985. Hardcover. ix, 272p., illustrated from period photographs; first edition cloth boards in dust jacket. Faint edgewear to dj and a bright green seller's label disfigures the dj illustration, an else quite sound clean unmarked copy. Revisionist interpretation of the Vigilante movement, largely that "merchants saw agitation and violence against the city's powerful Irish Catholics as their last-ditch attempt to unite and take control of the city"
