When Gold Rush fever gripped the globe in 1849, thousands of Chinese came through San Francisco to seek fortune. In The Poker Bride, Christopher Corbett uses a legend of one extraordinary woman as a lens into this experience. Before 1849, the Chinese in the United States were little more than curiosities. But as word spread of gold in California, San Francisco's labyrinthine Chinatown sprang up, a city-within-a-city full of exotic foods and strange smells where Chinese women were smuggled into the country. At this time Polly, a young Chinese concubine, was brought by her owner to a remote mining camp in the highlands of Idaho, where he lost her in a poker game. Polly and her new owner then settled at an isolated ranch on the banks of the Salmon River. As the Gold Rush receded, it took with it the Chinese miners, but left behind Polly, who would make headlines when -- as an old woman -- she emerged from the Idaho hills nearly half a century later to tell her astounding story. The Poker Bride reconstructs a tale of the real American West: a place where the first Chinese flooded the country and left their mark long after the craze for gold had vanished.Binding Type: Paperback

A nice sized wallet for front pocket keeping, holds the essentials & more quite well
Size: One Size, Color: Brown (Money Clip) 2
I like that I can keep cash, credit cards, ID and ATM cards all safely secured in this combo wallet/money clip that fits nicely in a back or front pants pocket (I keep mine in my front pocket). I've gotten this brand/style before, probably 6-8 years ago and it's the only wallet I'll use. I needed to replace mine as the spring metal clip does eventually wear through the leather at the rounded end of the money clip, but mine still functions just fine (I just wanted a new one for the holidays!) A well-made wallet and one I'll keep using and getting as long as I can find them.

Supple leather with a compact design.
Size: One Size, Color: Black II (Money Clip), Size: One Size, Color: Black II (Money Clip)
This is exactly what I was looking for and the price??? Unbelievably low. I saw a Carhartt one that I liked, but I didn’t care for the waxy look of leather on it so I looked on their website and they only offered it in that. I searched front pocket wallet on Amazon and I purchased this. It is a higher-quality leather, the price tag inside says $55. I paid under $18. The one thing I did like about the Carhartt one, it had a magnetic strap for the cash where as this one has a fixed money clip, but I see no problems with the design. Very minimalist design.
