Tumult and the Shouting: My Life In Sport by Grantland Rice. A. S. Barnes, New York, 1954. Padded leather hardcover. Memorial edition. A good copy of this memorial edition autobiography of one of America's most beloved sports journalists, the Tennessee-born Grantland Rice. A book about a time when our sports figures were truly heroic or seemed it and Grantland Rice chronicled them and even rose above them. A more innocent time in the sports world that is not likely to ever return. 368 pages including an index and forty black & white photos ( Lou Gehrig, Knute Rockne, Jack Dempsey, Bobby Jones, and more). Some rubbing to the leather corners and spine ends. Old gift inscription inside. |
