Horse Racing the Chicago Way: Gambling, Politics, and Organized Crime, 1837-1911 - Sports and Entertainment
Steven A. Riess
Chicago in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was second only to New York as a centre of both thoroughbred racing and off-track gambling. This book shines a light on its fascinating, complicated history, exploring the role of political influence and class; the business of racing; and its cultural and social significance.
