Pamphlet 8vo original pink printed wrappers (wrapper title), 10 pp. Slight fading to wrapper margins, normal modest aging; near fine. Despite the very cumbersome title, this is a very rare pamphlet dealing with the sale and disposition of land in Southern California. The work contends that legitimate settlers were cheated out of their homes by frauds that were committed by a few men who “have sought to acquire vast tracts of land illegally and wickedly for speculative purposes.” This represents a significant part of the land problems, which plagued the settlement of Los Angeles.
