On spine: Scoundrels & scalawags.

"Shatouni the Magnificent" by Rouben Mamoulian, p. 188-193.

The patriot who stole his country's symbol of freedom from Westminster Abbey; a clerk who took millions of dollars "investing" small sums for his neighbors; a dowdy lady who pretended to be Andrew Carnegie's daughter; the fascinating array of people in this book are of marvelous variety. The methods and motivations of these legendary characters are far more intriguing than fiction.
