Arizona: a History of Snake Oil Salesmen, Scams, and Hoaxes

Arizona: a History of Snake Oil Salesmen, Scams, and Hoaxes


“Since the earliest days, Arizonans have been visited by entrepreneurs offering all kinds of get rich quick schemes. Using newspaper articles, quotes, photographs and ephemera, this program illustrates some of the most famous and some of the lesser known embarrassing scams and hoaxes that have found the gullible in Arizona.” Presented by H. Christine Reid, a writer and researcher at the Pinal County Historical Society and Community Scholar for the ASU Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. (Excerpt taken from azhumanities.org/speakers)
