From Sport in American History by Leslie Heaphy
In Legendary Sports Writers of the Golden Age, Author Lee Congdon introduces the reader to four significant sports writers who began their careers in the 1920s and 1930s. Long considered the Golden Age of Sports for the athletes who performed, Congdon focuses on the writers who brought these athletes to life.
