When Robert Bailey published his autobiography, The Life and Adventures of Robert Bailey from his Infancy up to December, 1821, he announced that he had abandoned his career as a gambler and gambling-house proprietor and that he intended to support himself, his sixteen-year-old wife, and their twin sons, Esau and Jacob, with the proceeds from the sale of his book and from his patented faro box.
