This is the story of two of the most colorful and dominant czars who ever ruled a countryside—F. G. Bonfils and H. H. Tammen, the militant owners of the Denver Post.

They were a fighting pair. Bonfils, a Corsican and a descendant of Napoleon, was a ruthless opponent. Tammen, an ex-barkeep of Dutch descent, was a dreamer, bubbling with ideas, and with a flair for practical jokes.
