Abstract

This thesis discusses Edward Riley Bradley from his birth in 1859 until his death in 1946. Bradley lived a very full and diverse life. He was, in turn, a mill worker, gold miner, gambler, businessman, and philanthropist. Bradley was most noted for owning Idle Hour Farm, the home of four Kentucky Derby winners. Furthermore, he was the owner of the Beach Club of Palm Beach, possibly the most exclusive gambling casino in American history.
