Steve P. Holcombe
Steve P. Holcombe, the converted gambler : his life and work, is the title of a book about the riverboat gambler/drunkard/murderer who got saved and started the Union Gospel Mission, the mission from which Jeff Street sprang. Written by Rev. Alexander Gross in 1888(!), it is a fascinating bit of writing.
The book is out of publication, but copies of the old book can be found by doing searches for rare books. Interestingly, it is available online here.
