The Poker Bride: The First Chinese in the Wild WestWhen Gold Rush fever gripped the globe in 1849, thousands of Chinese came through San Francisco to seek fortune.

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

Not safe
The toys with fabric aren’t puppy proof. My puppy has been biting chunks off.

These toys are as durable as jello!
Color: Pink1, Color: Pink1
This is probably the worst product I've bought for my dog. These toys have the durability of a cup of jello, my small dog seen in the photo destroyed it in one night. Small dog, big dog or puppy, buy them high strength durable toys, my dog was smart enough to not swallow any small pieces she bit off but I cant say other dogs won't swallow the small pieces. I don't recommend this product for any dogs what so ever!

Fave dog toy!
Color: Betty Bigfoot
Great toy! My dog prefers the ball inside which is great for chewing on, bouncing, and playing fetch. Very thick rubber, lasts a good while. The outside cover is pretty tough, but for those who like a challenge it should last a little while. It really depends on how determined and fierce the dog is about chewing! We’ve had 3 of them. We always keep a back up for when one expires!!

Perfect for Heavy Chewers—Huge Hit in Our House!
Color: Aurora Beast
This toy is an absolute favorite in my house! My dogs are usually pretty picky and can destroy most toys within minutes, but this one has seriously impressed me. It’s super durable while still being soft enough for them to carry around and cuddle with.
They’re completely obsessed—whether they’re chewing on it, tossing it around, or just walking around proudly with it in their mouths. It keeps them entertained for a long time, which is a huge win.
Definitely worth it if you have strong chewers and want something that actually lasts. I’ll be buying more from this line for sure!
