Stand Pat or Poker Stories from the Mississippi David A Curtis

Rare edition with unique illustrations and elegant classic cream paper. Excerpt from Stand Pat: Or Poker Stories From the Mississippi The things that I saw, that seemed worthy of note, I have set down without prejudice to the little town of Brownsville, which has grown since I was there. Let no citizen of the place pursue me vindictively because I found him less interesting than Stumpy. And let no ones civic pride suffer because I noted in the town only what seemed to me picturesque. I have no quarrel with Brownsville. I got away from there. What I saw while there seems worth the telling. Much of it I have told in the Sunday Sun. That, and more will be found in this book. Includes vintage illustration!
