The book covers topics such as his early life and upbringing, political career, and efforts to control the Colorado River. Excerpt from the book: "The career of Fred T. Colter may be divided into two periods. The first extends from his birth to 1922, the latter, from 1922 forward. The early period is that of his rise through the adversities of the frontier to a position of wealth and state and national prominence as a cattleman, businessman, statesman and reclamationist. During the second period he had become an institution in this state, as trustee for the Colter water and power filings and Highline projects of Arizona, on which he maintained due diligence for twelve years, creating established and all vested rights inthem for Arizona, at the expense of his entire strength and all his hard-earned fortune, and against the greatest odds."
