A comprehensive and very well written book about the history of poker is Cowbys Full by James McManus. Some sections of the book first appeared as a series in CardPlayer magazine, which you can easily access online and search the archives. Absolutely fascinating and informative.

Jim Mcmanus wrote a book called "Cowboys Full" The story of poker. Which is the story of how poker originated. I have not read it but it seems like something you might be interested in.

He and his manservent Dwan Quixote tipped a few windmills in doing so... the Iveys were not pleased... in fact they looked something like this:

That's all I got so far.
