Sport & American Mentality 1880-1910 / Edition 1

by Donald J. Mrozek

Overview

Today's interest in sports in America has its roots in the period from 1880-1940. As Mrozek shows, famous and forgotten figures and athletes helped shaped the modern craze.  A national interest in sports could only be sustained after the upper classes ceased opposing organized sports.
