The Complete Book of Games by Cement Wood and Gloria Goddard (copyright 1938)
In The Complete Book of Games, Cement Wood and Gloria Goddard are claiming that both “Canfield (Solitaire)” and “Klondike” were gambling games and that Richard Canfield “invented” the Solitaire now still carrying his name.
About Klondike
“Klondike also called Canfield
This is the most famous of all Patience Games. It is commonly known as Canfield (Solitaire), although that name properly applies to another game; and Klondike is the original name.”“After the stock is run through only once, the game is over. In settling, a player usually pays 52 counters for the deck and is paid back 5 counters for each card played out on the foundation piles. A complete winning, where all the cards are played out to the foundation piles. repays the winner five times his stake.”
