this is a great book about the brillant Wilson Mizner who worked hard at not working the best part of the book is when he managed the great boxer Stanley Ketchell.Stanley went to a revival meeting and was told the lord was coming and the world was coming to an end so Stanley didn't train for his up coming fight and just went on partying and chasing woman the world didn't end (and the Lord didn't come) but Stanley won his fight anyway
Mr Mizner went to Alaska to fleece the gold miners with his brother
and they made a lot more money than the miners
he later opened the Brown Derby restaurant
laughed out loud reading this book
