Hotel Claibourne
Hotel on Canal Street in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1877.[1]
In June of 1877, Bret Maverick checked into the Hotel Claibourne during a visit to New Orleans. After a bad week in the French Quarter's casinos, Bret was billed $28. Unable to pay his bill, he was encouraged to accept a thousand dollars from Roul Gireaux to entertain a proposition for another $5,000 to persuade Steve Corbett to return to the United States from Tampico, Mexico.[1]
