Paperback. Condition: Good. The first African American to win the world heavyweight championship, Jack Johnson (1878-1946) was the preeminent American sports personality of his era. Holder of the title from 1908 to 1915, Johnson continued to box professionally until he was in his 60s. His 1910 victory over the formerly undefeated champion James J. Jeffries in "The Fight of the Century" triggered race riots across the country, and racial bias fueled the clamor for his defeat by a "Great White Hope." Johnson was a cultural lightning rod whose professional success and lavish lifestyle attracted both admiration and envy. In this witty and sophisticated memoir, he recounts without bitterness the prejudice, controversies, and scandals that dogged his public and private lives. Johnson was well known for his exploits beyond the boxing world, and he offers vivid accounts of his international adventures as a bullfighter, race car driver, cabaret entertainer, and spy. His outrageous feats include rescuing a passenger train from murderous bandits in Mexico, chasing a kangaroo across the Australian outback, walking away from five fiery car crashes, and surviving revolutions in Spain, Brazil, Cuba, and elsewhere. The only edition of Johnson's autobiography currently in print, this volume features 16 full-page illustrations and an introductory article by Damon Runyon.…

Illustrated with black-and-white photographs and drawings by Edwin William Krauter. FIRST CAROL PUBLISHING GROUP EDITION, FIRST PRINTING, 1992. "To many, Jack Johnson was the greatest boxer of all time. Had Jack Johnson been a white man, he would have attained an influence in the world which few other men have attained. But Jack Johnson was not. Because of his race, he had from the start the burden of prejudice to bear and to contend with conditions and human jealousies which in no way would ever have attached to a white man. When he successfully fought his way to the world championship, his achievement, instead of mitigating these prejudices and jealousies, intensified them. The story of Jack Johnson is a thrilling and interesting one, his career full of romance and adventure. This repirnt of an edition first published in 1927 is a memorial to a great American hero." -- from the rear outer cover. Krauter, Edwin William (special drawings) (illustrator).…
