The Tragic End of Gambers Row in Lawrenceburg
In Lawrenceburg Indiana three famed houses known as Gamblers Row housed notorious gambling dens. The Hickman Brashier duo built the row in 1838 and faced deadly violence, including a fatal duel over a wife, a riverbank plunge, and a fatal pistol shot. The tale, recounted by river pilots, ends with the collapse of Gamblers Row and a haunting legacy of fortune and ruin.
