About This Item
New York: Taplinger Publishing, 1977 IN THIS RICH and varied treasury of fact and fiction, John K. Hutchens has gathered together some of the world's best writing on the dramatic and spellbinding world of gambling. Here the reader will find a gallery of fabulous characters such as the unforgettable Wilson Mizner, who blazed a trail from the Yukon to Broadway as wit and playboy, but who was ever the conman; Titanic Thompson, who emerged from an Arkansas farm to become the master of the "sure thing"; and Yellow Kid Weil, the Chicago expert in outlandish capers. The Duke of Queensbury devastated White's with his clever calculated bets, and the extraordinary high roller Bet a Million Gates once dropped $375,000 (in 1902 dollars!) at the track in one afternoon. Dustjacket chipped and creased with small tears. Size: 6" X 8"
