"This is the story of two men--of how they achieved great power and
how through their implacable rivalry they destroyed each other,"
writes Arthur Quinn. Anticipating California's admission to the
union, both came to the state in 1849 seeking a seat in the U.S.
Senate. William McKendree Gwin, an aristocratic Southerner, and
David Broderick, a veteran of the bare-knuckle politics of New
York, struggled for control of California's Democratic Party during
the 1850s. Their feud, personal as well as political, ended in
violent death for one and disgrace for the other.
