| has gloss | eng: Ely Culbertson (July 22, 1891 – December 27, 1955) was the most significant American Contract bridge personality. He played a major role in the early development of the game, and was widely regarded as the man who made contract bridge.

His autobiography, The Strange Lives of One Man is, perhaps fittingly, the most extraordinary ever written by a card-player. |
