About This Item
New York. 1994. Oxford University Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 019505489x. 398 pages. hardcover. . keywords: History Los Angeles Scandal Oil America 1920s Stocks. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Here is a saga of the roaring twenties, with its glorification of business, its get-rich-quick mentality, and its paucity of government regulation-which bred speculation, corruption, and corporate chaos throughout the country. The Great Los Angeles Swindle exposes the schemes of C. C. Julian and his Julian Petroleum Corporation, known familiarly to thousands of Los Angeles residents as Julian Pete, thanks to Julian's folksy weekly newspaper ads. The Julian Pete swindle ranked with Teapot Dome as one of the great scandals of the era and symbolized the failure of 20s boosterism and speculation. inventory #27667 ISBN: 019505489x.
