Overview

A Word from the author



Gordon Yoder; Warren Diamond's step grandson was the star gate that opened up a dimension of history about: Dallas the Little Monte Carlo on the Trinity.
There was no Las Vegas and Warren Diamond's casino in Dallas on Commerce street was the only place in the Northern hemisphere you could get a no limit bet.



The word was out If you wanted to gamble, take a drink and get laid Dallas was the place to go !



Gordon Yoder listened from his seat at the Plano, Texas noon Rotary Club when I was their program. At the conclusion of my talk, I mentioned that their was a book in the pipe line about Warren Diamond the Czar of Dallas gambling in the Gay Nineties and 'Roaring Twenties.



After the Rotary program was over and everyone had left, an elderly gentleman, explained that he was Warren Diamond's step grandson, and that his mother Nellie's maiden name was Diamond, she was Warren Diamond's Warren's prize car a German Duisenberg.



I listened to Warren Diamond's step grandson, Gordon Yoder in admiration, with my tape recorder, to copy his memories and fascinating facets of Dallas history to be forever salvaged. Now the challenge was to add proper dialog and narration to hopefully present for your reading an exciting and educational, record of what happened in Dallas during Warren Diamond's life time. (1877 - 1935 )
