Virginian Robert S. Carlisle came to the American West to seek his fortune and married into a land–grant family. Following the death of the family patriarch, Don Isaac Williams, Carlisle cheats his wife of her share of 22,000 acres and attempts to do the same to his sister–in–law. When Los Angeles Sheriff Andrew Jackson King meets Carlisle by chance, he is immediately suspicious of Carlisle’s questions about the death of his father, Sheriff Samuel King years earlier. He also learns of Carlisle’s plan to swindle land from the Isaac Williams family. As law officers, King and his brothers initiate legal action against Carlisle to stop his theft, leading to the bloodiest duel ever fought in Los Angeles. But could Carlisle's grudge have any connection to the murder of his father, Samuel King? A.J.'s L.A., based on a true story, describes the very early days of Los Angeles as experienced by the family of author, Victor Haddox.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good Story But Very Biased and With Errors of Facts By Gene C. Armistead Thisnovel is written as a memoir of A. J. King, a noted early Los Angeles law officer and attorney by a modern-day member of King's family and concerns the 1865 King-Carlisle duel in Los Angeles' Bella Union Hotel. The book is extremely partisan against Bob Carlisle and favorable to King. Having read somewhat extensively of this period and statements about the duel by persons of that day, it is obvious that the controversy between King and Carlisle was not near so clear-cut as presented by the author. And there are some errors of fact. For one thing, Carlisle was just as much identified with the "chivalry" or pro-Southern element as King and not a leader of Republicans and Unionists as averred in several places by the author. And, there was no such place as "Fort Los Angeles." The book could also have used some editing and proofreading with such errors as "failed gold minors," "assignation attempt" for "assignation attempt," "consular" instead of "counselor," and "gente de raisin" instead of "gente de razon." Additionally, the section about King's wife Laura reads somewhat confusingly about her age: age 7 in 1845, age 15 in 1860, age 20 in 1862.But, like the real King-Carlisle feud, it is a good story.
