Inscribed by Bagley to Geri McCarthey, to whom the book is dedicated, on the front free end paper,"For my oldest and dearest friendGeri McCarthey Clark, who made all this possible-- and reminds me of why I fell in love with her great father. With appreciation and love, Will Bagley. 4 July 2008." Cowboy, judge, federal official, then business executive, Wilson McCarthy mirrored change and growth in the twentieth-century West. Leading the Denver & Rio Grande back from the brink saved a vital link in the national transportation system. The D&RGW ran over and through the scenic Rockies, developing mineral resources, fighting corporate wars, and helping build communities. The Depression brought it to its knees. Accepting federal assignment to save the line, McCarthy turned it into a paragon of mid-century railroading, represented by the streamlined, Vista-Domed California Zephyr, although success hauling freight was of more economic importance. Prior to that, McCarthy's life had taken him from driving livestock in Canada to trying to drive the national economy as a director of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, the first line of federal attack on the Depression. Always a Cowboy positions McCarthy's story in rich historical panorama.

Bagley writes in the preface- "I also quickly learned that this was not simply the biography of one man but a family chronicle, and I could not resist exploring Charles, Mary, and Maud McCarthy's complicated love story. I was continually surprised by how much I learned from Judge Wilson McCarthy and his colorful life, which began in an era when Mormonism was still a revolutionary new religious movement and ended when it had become a mainstream and very conservative American institution.".

Paperback. Zustand: As New. Signed. 476pp. Octavo [23.5cm]; illustrated wraps. "Through letters and other documents by Samuel Brannan and his contemporaries, Will Bagley offers the first honest and accurate portrait of one of the most colorful and important figures in California and Mormon history. An early convert to Mormonism, a protege of Joseph Smith, and an early leader of the Mormon Church in New York, Brannan led eastern church members to Yerba Buena (San Francisco) aboard the ship Brooklyn in 1846. They were the first group of American emigrants to reach California by sea. Brannan's dreams of empire, nurtured in contacts with national Democratic leaders, were undercut by the United States conquest of California and Mormon settlement in Utah, but the discovery of gold in 1848, which he played a key role in publicizing, soon made hime rich supplying the miners. For a while he was reputedly the richest man, and certainly one of the most powerful, in California. Having broken with Brigham Young and the Mormans, Brannan pursued other inter! ests, from mines and railroads to vineyards and a recreational spa, from San Francisco's Vigilance Committee to filibustering in Hawaii and Mexico. Drink, womanizing, divorce, and bad investments brought him down. He died having spent his last impoverished years pursuing another dream of empire, involving mining and colonization in Sonora." -From the publisher.
