As Warren Harding's Secretary of the Interior, Fall leased the government's Teapot Dome Naval Oil Reserve in Wyoming to Harry F. Sinclair and a similar reserve at Elk Hills, California, to Edward L. Doheny. Fall's hands were less than clean in the dealings, but he also was made the scapegoat by both sides in the disclosures of the lengthy Teapot Dome scandal beginning in 1924. In 1931 he became the first American Cabinet officer ever convicted and imprisoned for a felony committed while in office.

Acquitted of the former, he was convicted of the latter and dismissed from the Army. As a civilian Flipper distinguished himself in governmental and private engineering positions, especially in the Southwest, and became an authority on Mexican land and mining law. Flipper maintained his innocence until his death in 1940. In 1976 descendents and supporters applied to the Army for reversal of his conviction, and although the Board of Correction stated that it did not have authority to overturn the courtmartial's decision, it directed the Department of the Army to issue an Honorable Discharge for Flipper. Finally, in 1999, following a further application, President Clinton pardoned Flipper of all charges.

Very fine with a few textual corrections in pencil.
        First edition, a unique copy in Hertzog's trial binding with the lettering on the cover printed in "socialist" red, which was rejected as not politically correct. With an autograph note by Hertzog describing the unique cover of this copy. Lowman, Printer at the Pass 220. Hertzog considered several colors of cloth for the binding, finally settling on a lightweight grey buckram with a touch of buff, suggesting sand. He chose a red foil for the lettering-gold, black, and white did not satisfy, and the red produced an excellent cover, bright, and lively. Then a colleague said that the red, though perhaps best, was too "left-wing" for Haley. The bookbinder suggested double stamping: first stamp the lettering with black foil, then while the die is still hot, overprint with red. The method worked, and "Hereford red" became the color of choice. Cover layout was also modified for the final binding. See Lowman for a detailed story of the binding as told by Hertzog.

The second is a promotional and historical pamphlet for the Doña Luz Restaurant in Taos. Both projects were undertaken by Hertzog on his own initiative after visiting New Mexico. The collection contains both the ephemera as found by Hertzog and as redesigned by him. Included is his typescript retelling of the experiences and correspondence with the restaurant owner. The front cover illustration on the Hertzog Doña Luz leaflet is by José Cisneros. St. James Church accepted and continued to use the Hertzog design for its leaflet, but the restaurateur did not like what Hertzog had produced, preferring his own brochure design.

        Perhaps one of the most illusive of Hertzogiana. Carl Hertzog was a resident at Four Seasons Nursing Center in 1984, shortly before his death, and he contributed a column to each issue during his stay. He also took it upon himself to improve the newsletter, and his influence can be seen in the change in the newsletter's name and format. The Dispatch is a typewritten folio. After Hertzog had been a resident for a month, the Desert Year appears, a new quarto newsletter typeset in a Galliard type font with a much more professional appearance. Hertzog's columns are reminiscences as well as being simple articles on printing.

Tipped into an ivory folder with printed editorial notes on inner cover. Very fine. Presentation copy, inscribed to Dudley R. Dobie and signed by Carl Hertzog.
        The letter was written by Carl Hertzog in response to Dobie's lengthy review of the just-published new edition of Interwoven by Sallie Reynolds Matthews. The review appeared in four Texas newspapers. Dobie said that he had read the book when it first appeared (1936), but realized even more what a great book it was when he read it anew in Hertzog's design and printing. Hertzog writes of production of Interwoven and also of Tom Lea's The King Ranch, and books by J. Evetts Haley, and concludes: "What lucky people we are to not be tied up to New York production lines."

        Hertzog's annotated copy of the issue of Texas Libraries that contains Lowman's bibliography of Carl Hertzog.
