The details of the Teapot Dome scandal have retained their interest with the passage of time. For instance, Albert B. Fall, secretary of the interior under President Harding, was convicted of receiving bribes for the selective leasing of naval oil reserves; but Harry Sinclair and Edward Doheny, the oilmen who were linked to the bribes in Fall�s case, were acquitted at a later trial of paying the bribes. Sinclair, however, was eventually found guilty of tampering because he had ordered the entire jury in his bribery case to be put under surveillance by private detectives. In addition, the Mammoth, Sinclair, and Pan-American oil companies were found to have been involved in the fraudulent leasing of naval oil reserves. The Teapot Dome Documents, covering all of the major aspects of the scandal, contains testimony, grand jury material, briefs, evidence, correspondence, hearings, and archival records that are being published for the first time. This collection provides the documentary material for an in-depth study of the most flagrant abuse of the political and financial power of oil companies in American history.
