Judge Xenophon and the Foxworthy Cabal is a literary snapshot of an Alaska Gold Rush boomtown in August of 1900. The boomtown, Ophir, is on the edge of either going civilized or ghost. To become civilized, it needs to legally squeeze out the crooked judge before he absconds on the last steamship of the season - in 30 days - with the gold he has been legally seizing since June.
