A quick and entertaining read that is a written in a narrative style that gives it the feel of a folk tale. Received as a Christmas gift, thanks Charlie, and finished within a couple days of starting it. My only wish is that it were cited in a traditional manner with footnotes of annotations in case one would want to look at the author's sources. The way the author does it makes for a easier read, but is awkward for anyone wanting to do any further research or reading of their own.

A fun interesting book on the Pottsville Maroons and the early NFL. The language used seemed, at times, superfluous and overly flowery, but I later realized that a lot of it was direct quotes from the time (early to mid Twenties) and I believe their style of language at the time was more superfluous and flowery. All in all, it was a very enjoyable book and I learned a lot about a time and an NFL that I didn't know much about. Very enlightening
