Roughing it #7: The Gambler

By April 26, 2012Nevada, Roughing It

This is the seventh in a series of posts detailing my 2010 photo series ‘Roughing It.’ The images are based on characters and scenes from Mark Twain’s eponymous volume about his travels and adventures in Nevada and other Western states.

 

“At night, by the camp-fire, we played euchre and seven-up to strengthen the mind–and played
them with cards so greasy and defaced that only a whole summerʼs acquaintance with them
could enable the student to tell the ace of clubs from the jack of diamonds.”
