Field went to California in 1849 and began a long legal career which led to his appointment by Lincoln to the U.S. Supreme Court. His finding of fraudulence in the will of Senator Sharon as submitted by Sarah Althea Hill and her attorney, David Terry, led to a threat on Justice Field's life by Terry. Eventually, Terry was shot dead by Field's bodyguard. This is one of the few copies with correction slips pasted over some passages, as noted by Howes. HOWES G259.
