Two Poker Tales From New York's Gilded Age
A pair of veteran gamblers Pettibone from Tennessee and Cleveland from Philadelphia duel for a 100000 stake at No 8 Bar in New York, with Pettibone losing heavily before winning back all of Cleveland’s money and later partnering at Hot Springs Ark. The piece recalls Charley Perkins in New Orleans, Joseph Jefferson, and theatrical asides, plus notes on Lord Chumlay, Kendals at the West End, Central Park, Le Petit Journal, and fashion trends like black horse hoofs and crepe armbands for servants.
