Description
"Gerlach's well-sourced and well-reasoned arguments and commentary add nuance and critical analysis to the story, offering a break from straightforward narrative and allowing critical glimpses into both the athlete and his world." -David J. Lunt, assistant professor of history, Southern Utah University "Gerlach seeks to separate fact from fiction, and myth from reality, to discover a gifted athlete whose story we thought we knew but didn't. Richards's life-which is full of triumphs and tragedies, successes and failure-provides any interested reader with an important lens to view a number of topics." -John Sillito, professor emeritus of libraries, Weber State University, Ogden, Utah
