Description: 

In The Reivers the "driving park" where Otis and Mr. Binford went to bet on a race is probably the Montgomery Park race track (108). Horse and harness racing on a one-mile oval track began there in 1852. In 1906, when the state legislature outlawed gambling, the track was closed down.
