In this highly readable work that engages topics in American cultural, social and business history, Ann Fabian details of gambling in industrializing America. She investigates the relationship between gambling and other ways of making profit, such as speculation and land investment in the nineteenth century, and explores the moral and cultural implications of this relationship.
