| Summary, etc. | "Forty Years a Gambler on the Mississippi" by George H. Devol is a memoir written in the late 19th century. This historical account chronicles the author's extensive experiences as a professional gambler on the Mississippi River, detailing the thrills and perils he encountered over four decades. The narrative likely covers various adventures, notable characters, and unique incidents that shaped his life in the gambling world. The opening of the memoir sets the stage for Devol's journey, beginning with his childhood in Marietta, Ohio, where he was a mischievous boy who early on developed a fascination with card games and gambling. By the age of ten, he was working as a cabin boy on steamboats, and it wasn't long before he learned the tricks of the gambling trade. Devol recounts his initial experiences with various games, including how he started to cheat and make significant winnings from unsuspecting players. As the memoir unfolds, it hints at a life filled with adventures, confrontations, and the socio-cultural dynamics of gambling during that era, providing a vivid backdrop to the author's journey as both a skilled gambler and a colorful character of his time.
