Sport and American Mentality, 1880-1910
Author: Donald J. Mrozek
Publisher: Univ. of Tennessee Press
ISBN: 9780870493959
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 308

Few observers of American life today would doubt that sports occupy a prominent place in our society, but equally few have examined the origins of the country's greatest passion. Probing our history, culture, and consciousness, Professor Mrozek shows how sports gained national acceptance and became as standard as fried chicken and church on Sunday.
