Memories of an Arizona Judge by Richard Sloan. Published by Stanford University Press, 1932. Hardcover. First edition. Includes the rare original dust jacket. Autobiography of Richard E. Sloan, a former Justice of the Arizona Supreme Court and the last territorial governor of Arizona. A somewhat rambling, but very readable account of life in Arizona, from 1884 to 1912, told, not by a frontiersman, but by a member of the territorial bar, as well as Arizona's last territorial governor. Its chief historical value lies in the last few chapters, in which the author describes how the state constitution was born. 250 pages. No illustrations. The book is very clean and tight. The scarce original dust jacket has some staining and edge chipping. Now in Mylar sleeve.
