Chapter 4 — The Cabinet: The Heartbeat of Early Whiskey Row
Full review September 28, 2026: citation locates the 2015 narrative only. Later Courtney museum series (2025) distinguishes two visits and disclaims evidence of specific saloons. No independent corroboration of Cabinet or winning amount; endnote 60 is unrelated.
Use note
Attribute this specifically to Courtney's 2015 account and explain the later qualification: his 2025 museum articles acknowledge no record of which Prescott saloons Holliday patronized. A bare “probably Cabinet” is insufficient context. See the full Literature Note for the revised chronology and article links.
