Twelve Days in the Tombs is a memoir written by Jonathan H. Green about his life as a reformed gambler. The book is a detailed account of the last eight years of Green's life, during which he struggled with addiction and eventually found redemption. The title refers to the twelve days Green spent in a New York City prison, where he was incarcerated for his involvement in a gambling ring. The book provides a vivid portrayal of the gambling scene in mid-19th century America, as well as the social and economic conditions that contributed to the rise of gambling. Green describes his own experiences as a gambler, including the highs and lows of his addiction, the thrill of winning, and the despair of losing. He also discusses the impact that gambling had on his relationships, his finances, and his mental and physical health. Throughout the book, Green emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and personal growth. He describes how he was able to overcome his addiction through a combination of religious faith, support from friends and family, and a commitment to living a more honest and fulfilling life. Twelve Days in the Tombs is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the world of gambling and addiction in 19th century America. It is also a powerful personal narrative that demonstrates the possibility of redemption and transformation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
