There are articles about Gordon Bennett and his behaviors. He was engaged to a wealthy socialite. The woman's father hosted a party for them and Gordon Bennett was so drunk he mistook the fireplace for a toilet and urinated in it in front of everyone at the party. The brother of Gordon Bennett was reported to have horse-whipped him the next morning, and the engagement was broken off.
