John the Great: The Times and Life of a Remarkable American, John L. Sullivan

Donald Barr Chidsey

4.9/5 (12330 ratings)

Description:This is not the biography of a prize-ring champion; say rather it is the life and story of a remarkable American who happened to be a pugilist. Undisputed king of the ring, "the great Jawn L." Sullivan won a place in the affections of his fellow Americans from which he has never been ousted. Always the great man--whether silencing the clamor of ringside crowds by the mere act of raising an arm; hobnobbing on terms of equality with the Prince of Wales (later Edward VII); earning a million dollars in a time when one thousand was a good yearly income, and spending every cent of it, largely on charity; or turning temperance lecturer and winning thereby the woman of his choice--John L. Sullivan was one of the most colorful figures of a curious era.Mr. Chidsey has not been content to tell the lusty, exciting, moving story of the great champion of champions; he has looked beneath the surface of events to find why one man out of so many could have made such an impression on the record of his days, and has achieved the perfect combination--an exciting narrative told with analytical insight against the florid background of the times.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
