The book The Story Of Lottie Deno: Her Life And Times by J. Marvin Hunter is a biography of the enigmatic and fascinating figure, Lottie Deno. Deno was a woman who defied societal norms in the late 19th century and became a successful gambler, earning the nickname The Poker Queen. The book delves into Deno's early life, including her childhood in Kentucky and her move to Texas as a young woman. It explores her transformation from a sheltered aristocrat to a daring gambler, as well as her relationships with other notable figures of the time, such as Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp. Hunter paints a vivid picture of the Wild West and the gambling culture that was prevalent at the time, as well as the challenges and obstacles that Deno faced as a woman in a male-dominated world. The book also discusses Deno's personal life, including her marriage to Frank Thurmond, a fellow gambler, and their eventual retirement to a quieter life in New Mexico. Overall, The Story Of Lottie Deno: Her Life And Times is a captivating and well-researched biography that sheds light on a remarkable woman who defied expectations and carved out a unique place in history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
