Bunco Artists In Richmond, 1870-1920: Sharpers, Snatchers, Swindlers, Flimflammers And Other Con Men

[A kind of sub-society existed in Richmond, as in other urban areas, of tricksters, swindlers, confidence men and certain thieves. By looking at the lower sort of deception and crime, one can gauge a fringe society.
