About This Item

Slat Lake City: Press of the F. W. Gardiner Co., [1913]. First edition. Twelvemo. 142, [2] pp. Publisher's red wrappers bearing a representation of Lopez on the front. First leaf (stating proceeds will be given to the widows of the men killed by Lopez) starting to pull away from staples (though still very secure), small hole in upper margin of rear blank endpaper, spine somewhat sunned. Overall, a very good copy. On November 21, 1913, Raphael "Red" Lopez shot and killed a fellow miner named Juan Valdez in Bingham, Utah. A four-man posse was soon on his trail, and they caught up with him at about 4:30 p.m. on the same day. Unfortunately for the officers, they rode their horses right into an ambush in which three of them were killed and one limped back to report the slaughter. News of the shootout quickly spread. Lawmen from all over Utah assembled to participate in what would become the state's largest manhunt in history. Altogether, the new posse consisted of about 200 men, both civilians and lawmen. They found Lopez but he was holed up in a mine. Despite various attempts at getting him out he eventually escaped and was never heard from again
