Iron Nerve and Horse Sense Made Lucky Baldwin
Old Lucky Baldwin, famed California speculator and gambler, lived eighty with fearless nerve and sharp horse sense. The San Francisco magnate rose from a tavern keeper to wealth via Comstock mines, avoided secondhand tips, and staged bold takeovers. His life mixed extravagant spending with sudden tightfisted spells, and his actions at Ingleside and other scenes show a gambler who could both dazzle and defy odds.
