Power Passion and Prejudice: Shootout in the Galiuro Mountains

About this book

In 1918 a legendary shootout in Arizona made headlines in newspapers across the nation. According to the press German sympathizers had murdered a federal posse in the Galiuro Mountains in Graham County. Misinformation on the case reported in print would fill volumes but four men died in that gun battle and the bitter anger that followed reintroduced the death penalty to Arizona and divided the state for nearly a century. After ten years spent searching old files and unearthing previously unexplored information author Barbara Brooks Wolfe presents a riveting account of this controversial case.
