Excerpt from Picking Winners With Major MilesAll good Kentuckians, and some who were not so good, knew Major Miles. He lived, moved and made his bets in the period between the passing of the gold millionaires of forty-nine and the advent of the steel magnates of nineteen one. He is still with us, but aging rapidly, bewildered at the times and the customs - the coming of Volstead and the passing of the betting ring.The blue grass belles of the Major's youth wore crinolines and long skirts. Their place was in the home, and ¿irting was their dissipation. The men attended to the swearing, the smoking and the drinking. But they did none of the first and little of the last in the presence of the ladies, God bless them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
