Synopsis
Never have so many done so much to stop so few. The year was 1895, and Dallas gambler Dan Stuart had a modest idea: promote a boxing carnival featuring a match for the heavyweight championship of the world between Gentleman Jim Corbett and Fighting Bob Fitzsimmons. What could be simpler? This richly detailed true epic of a fight and the hard-punching (and sometimes loony) political and religious turmoil surrounding it will entertain not only sports fans but all who appreciate a well-told tale that demonstrates once and for all that truth can be stranger than fiction - a lot stranger.

Review
"Mr. Miletich vividly and humorously chronicles the grand furor surrounding boxing matches in the United States in the 1890s, thus illuminating an oft-overlooked aspect of American popular culture."--Paula Mitchell Marks, author of And Die in the West and Precious Dust--Paula Mitchell Marks, author of And Die in the West and Precious Dust
About the Author
Leo N. Miletich is the author of a book on Broadway musicals and more than twenty nationally published articles on pop culture. His passion for fantastic true stories and his flair for research--honed by a dozen years of library service--here merge with the perfect, knockout subject. He lives and writes in El Paso.
