Description

New York: Simon & Schuster, 2000.. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Octavo, hardcover, fine in near fine blue pictorial dj. Giftable. How a Small Native American Tribe Created the World's Most Profitable Casino. In the mid-1970s, the Mashantucket Pequot tribe had only one member--an elderly woman who pleaded with her grandson to come live on the impoverished reservation and save it from falling into government hands upon her death. Eisler tells the remarkable story of how Richard "Skip" Hayward, then an unemployed ship-worker, granted his grandmother's dying wish, revived the moribund clan, and transformed the Pequots into the richest and most influential band of Native Americans in history. Established in 1992, Foxwoods Resort and Casino is the world's most profitable gambling establishment, grossing over 1 billion a year. Making use of arcane laws and court decisions never intended to benefit Native Americans as they have, Hayward brilliantly laid the groundwork for this staggering economic empire.
