Publisher's Synopsis
"I'd rather play poker with 4 or 5 good players than eat."
POKER ALICE TUBBS (1853-1930) led a high-stakes life gambling against the best in the gold rush boomtowns of the Rockies and the Black Hills. From mountaintops to valleys, Poker Alice weathered victories and defeats, always ready to take risks-on the cards or with her heart.
Poker Alice Tubbs takes us back to a time when card players were straight shooters. The game was the thing and cheating robbed everyone of a good time. Those were the days when Poker Alice, Calamity Jane, Soapy Smith, risk-taking miners, and anyone with a deck, a stake, and a horse went looking for adventure and a livelihood in the Wild West.
