Book excerpt: GEORGE FRANK LYDSTON was born Marcy 3, 1858, in Jacksonville, California, to parents who had gone west with the gold rush. Although they later moved back east, their son, who would later become a doctor, maintained nostalgia for the Great American West. A great interest of Dr. Lydston was criminal anthropology, a blend of the study of the human species and the study of criminals. He became a widely recognized pioneer in the field of offender profiling, based on apparent links between the nature of a crime and the personality of the offender.In addition to many publications in relation to his profession, he engaged in travel writing and fiction, a sample of which is presented in this volume. "Poker Jim, Gentleman" is set in California during the 1860s. A young doctor, William Weymouth, settles at Jacksonville, a mining site. When he is asked to extract a bullet from a man, he meets the "Jim" of the title, which eventually leads to a most surprising discovery for the young doctor. The character of Jim makes for an interesting study in criminal behavior. Marked as a "corrupter of public morals," Jim nonetheless exhibits traits of altruism, principle, and the upright comportment of a gentleman. To follow is "Johnny: A Story of the Philippines." Like Jim, Johnny is an unlikely hero. A teenaged street kid from Chicago, Johnny joins the Montana Volunteers and is deployed to the Philippines. Here, he finds his true vocation as a soldier. In Teddy-Roosevelt-like swashbuckling fashion, he encounters tropical diseasesand jungle pitfalls in addition to the voracious Filipino villains. Other stories include, "Chiquita," an anecdote of unrequited love. A young man poisons himself when he gets a letter from his sweetheart terminating their romance in the story, "Leaves from a Suicide's Diary." One is reminded of Edgar Allen Poe's obsession with death and decay in "A Grim Memento," an account of death by strangling, and in "A Dead Ideal: A Romance of the Dissecting Room." A man sketches a stunning woman he has seen in a dream, and becomes obsessed with her. He later becomes a doctor. One day, during a routine autopsy, he looks down and finds to his shock, that the corpse is totally identical to his drawing of the woman who appeared to him in a dream. Chilling tales guaranteed to turn one pale, the old doctor's book does not disappoint.

Book excerpt: Introduced shortly after the United States declared its independence, poker’s growth and development has paralleled that of America itself. As a gambling game with mass appeal, poker has been played by presidents and peasants, at kitchen tables and final tables, for matchsticks and millions. First came the hands, then came the stories – some true, some pure bluffs, and many in between. In Poker & Pop Culture: Telling the Story of America’s Favorite Card Game, Martin Harris shares these stories while chronicling poker’s progress from 19th-century steamboats and saloons to 21st-century virtual tables online, including: Poker on the Mississippi Poker in the Movies Poker in the Old West Poker on the Newsstand Poker in the Civil War Poker in Literature Poker on the Bookshelf Poker in Music Poker in the White House Poker on Television Poker During Wartime Poker on the Computer From Mark Twain to “Dogs Playing Poker” to W.C. Fields to John Wayne to A Streetcar Named Desire to the Cold War to Kenny Rogers to ESPN to Star Trek: The Next Generation and beyond, Poker & Pop Culture provides a comprehensive survey of cultural productions in which poker is of thematic importance, showing how the game’s portrayal in the mainstream has increased poker’s relevance to American history and shaped the way we think about the game and its significance.
