(1) Michael Keller says:

Actually, I have evidence that the
solitaire game played as a gambling
game in Canfield’s casino might not be
the game known today as Canfield, but
Klondike. There are quite a few references in print to Klondike as a
gambling game, but almost none for
Canfield.

Adding to the confusion is the fact that
Demon is widely used in England to refer
to Canfield, not Klondike.
