A Brief History of American Sports Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Gorn and Goldstein show us the origins of our games and pastimes, how they developed, and what they have meant to Americans. The great heroes of baseball and football are here, as well as the dramatic moments of boxing and basketball. Beyond this, the authors show us how sports fit into the larger contours of our past. A Brief History of American Sports reveals that from colonial times to the present, sports have been central to American culture and a profound expression of the nation.
