Publisher's Synopsis
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 one's 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.
