Book Synopsis Sport and American Mentality, 1880-1910 by : Donald J. Mrozek
Book excerpt: 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.
