I have occasionally complained that the only Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) game that most chess players are familiar with is Amateur - Blackburne, London, 1885 (0-1, 14).
So I was very pleased to run across AZT Games' video, "Epic Checkmate! Jerome vs NN" which presents an early game ("Off-hand game, played over the board, March 1, 1876, between AWJ and another amateur") won by Alonzo Wheeler Jerome, using his own gambit.
(Also, see the post "A sparkling variation to the tired Piano game".)
