Produktinformationen zu „Gambling in the Old West (Hip - Pocket History, #1) / Hip - Pocket History (ePub)“

Hip-Pocket History of the Old West (Series) Compact, concise accounts that cover odd or little-known facets of the American West. Historically accurate, but told in an easy to read format, with just a twist of humor. Informative, yet entertaining, the Hip-Pocket History series provides little nuggets without having to wade through a 400-page book of dry academic ostentatiousness.

Gambling played a major role in the lives of the men that drove the western movement of Americans across the continent during the nineteenth century. Games of chance were dear to the hearts of not only cowboys, but also gold miners, plantation owners, bankers, merchants, soldiers, trappers, buffalo hunters, mule skinners, and most of the other men of the American West, even including some preachers.

Wherever there were men with money there was gambling - and most of it was crooked. Whether it was rigged, fixed, double-dealt, cold-decked, braced or otherwise manipulated - very little was left to luck and skill.

Autoren-Porträt von G. R. Williamson

G.R. Williamson lives in Kerrville, Texas with his wife and trusty Chihuahua, "Shooter". He spent his early years living in Crystal City, Texas which is located twenty miles west of King Fisher's ranch in Dimmitt County. As a Boy Scout he hunted arrow heads on the land that once belonged to King Fisher and he fished in the alligator waters of Espantosa Lake.

He has written many articles on Texas historical figures and events in Texas history. In addition, he has penned several western motion picture screenplays that make their way to California from time to time.

Williamson's interview with Willis Newton in 1979 was the basis for his book, Willis Newton - The Last Texas Outlaw. The book details the outlaw's own words about his life of crime as well as the intensive historical research that separated truth from fabrication. It still remains as the only Willis Newton biography.
