Frauds of America, or, Beware of shams, how they are worked and how to foil them. The tricks and methods of all kinds of frauds and swindlers, from the petty sneak-thief to the cleverest schemes of the expert bank robber, fully exposed for the protection of the American public. This historical reprint is of the 1902 revision to the original 1896 edition. Handier than the free PDFs on the web, this you can hold, bookmark, highlight and shelve. An inexpensive imperative for any history buff.
