Octavo, brown cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, 100 pp. Fine in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: Its the Arizona Territory. The year, 1848. The year the Mexican War ended. Fate and blazing pistols have just thrown together reporter and part-time drunk Marion T. Bell and the very nearly legendary John Charles Hart, mustanger and scout, in the Little Fanny Saloon. Plying the river-trade across the Colorado the gold fields of California in the north, and war-torn Mexico to the south, the town of Gables Ferry has sprung up overnight -- lacking only a church, a schoolhouse and a jail. Though some would say that only the jail was needed. A rough place in a lawless era. About to become a hell of a lot more so one night when Hart, Bell and the easy-going giant Mother Knuckles stumble upon Elena, a fierce, young, badly wounded Mexican woman near the banks of the Colorado. Shes naked. Shes been bullwhipped, knifed, and branded. And she tells them about the kidnap, rape and servitude she and her sister have endured at the hands of las hermanas de lupo, the deadly Valenzura Sisters and their henchman, the deserter Paddy Ryan, at the well-manned slave camp across the river aptly called Garanta del Diablo -- Mouth of the Devil. Its just three hundred years since Cortez. Only three hundred years since the Old Gods of Mexico were in their full and fearsome flower. Tezcatlipoca, god of the moon and the night. Tlazolteotl, Eater of Filth. Xipe, Lord of the Flayed. Blood for rain. Blood for bounty. For many, like the Valenzura sisters, they have never died. And Elenas sisters still there., Cemetery Dance Publications, 2003. Limited edition of 1,500., 20031500, 0, Chicago: Academy Chicago Publishers, 1998. Presumed First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine/near fine. Presumed First Edition. Hardcover. 9 1/4" X 6 1/4". xiii, 273pp. Faint shelfwear to unclipped dust jacket. Bound in black cloth over boards, with spine lettered in gilt. Binding is firm, tight, and sound. Pages are clean and unmarked. A highly presentable copy of this account of the 1933 assassination attempt on the life of President-elect Franklin Delano Roosevelt by Giuseppe Zangara. ABOUT THIS BOOK: In Miami Florida, on February 15, 1933, Giuseppe Zangara, an unemployed New Jersey bricklayer from Italy, fired five pistol shots at the back of President-elect Franklin Roosevelt's head from only twenty-five feet away. While all five rounds missed their target, each bullet found a separate victim. One of these was Mayor Anton Cermak of Chicago, who died of his wound some three weeks later. A scant two weeks after that, Zangara was executed in the electric chair. It was perhaps the swiftest legal execution in twentieth-century American history. With his death, Zangara took to the grave the answer to one of the most baffling unsolved mysteries in the annals of Presidential assassinations. Was FDR Zangara's real target? Or was he a mob hitman who actually intended to kill Cermak, as legendary columnist and FDR confidant Walter Winchell believed? Was he a terrorist, as the LA police contended? Could he have been a member of La Camorra, a Neapolitan crime society, as the prison warden insisted? Was he simply insane, as many at the time thought? Or was he really a martyr for the cause of the Common Man, as he himself proclaimed? These are some of the questions dealt with in this first-ever analysis of a fascinating true crime. This work is based not only on trial transcripts, police records, personal interviews and newspaper accounts, but on Zangara's own memoir, which had been lost in the prison warden's papers until it was unearthed by the author. This incredible saga is history in the round: it involves law, medicine and politics at the highest levels. The discovery, for example, that Cermak died not from his relatively simple wound, but as a result of malpractice, is but one ofthe fascinating aspects of this new history.
