{"product_id":"poker-alice-tubbs-the-straight-story","title":"Poker Alice Tubbs: The Straight Story","description":"Poker Alice Tubbs is legendary in the West famous for her big black cigar and her high-stakes life in gold rush boomtowns of the Rockies and the Black Hills. Poker Alice: The Straight Story sorts out tangled facts from colorful fiction to reveal a unique and determined woman living in a man s world. During her life, Poker Alice (1851-1930) encountered notorious characters including Soapy Smith, Calamity Jane and Madame Moustache. From mountaintops to valleys, she weathered victories and defeats, always ready to take risks on the cards or with her heart. A passion for getting at truth of Alice’s story launched Liz Morton Duckworth s in-depth research and resulted in this book. Poker Alice: The Straight Story is a fascinating true tale of the West and serves as a must-have resource for researchers and writers.\n\n“I’d always thought there was more to Poker Alice s story than the rumors that I heard in Deadwood when I lived there. Fortunate to be a fascinated observer as Liz Duckworth visited with the ghost of Poker Alice, I’m especially happy to see the results of her research into the life of a woman who epitomized the real West in many ways.”\n—Linda M. Hasselstrom, author of 17 nonfiction and poetry books about the West.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0865412537\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0865412537.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Liz Morton Duckworth\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
