Book Synopsis The Lady Was a Gambler by : Chris Enss
Book excerpt: AMERICAN HISTORY: C 1800 TO C 1900. Amidst the mining camps, cattle ranches, desolate landscapes, and gold mining towns of the Wild West were a succession of women who survived dangerous gambling games against ruthless men whose pride was staked on always having the upper hand."The Lady Was a Gambler" presents a collection of action-filled portraits of fifteen infamous women gamblers from the Old West.Among those profiled are "Poker" Alice Ivers, the finest player bar none from Deadwood to Tombstone; Eleanora Dumont, the West's hottest twenty-one dealer; and Lottie Deno, the beautiful faro dealer who gambled all the way from Texas to Alaska.
