Later subtitled "The Best Gambling Book Ever Published in America", Devol (1829-1903) was a riverboat gambler who made fortunes, and even if only half of his many tall stories in the book are true, he lived a remarkable life. He begins the story at age ten when he ran away from his Ohio home to join the crew of a riverboat. There he learned not only about being a sailor but how to cheat at cards.
