Product Description:
A Hard Road to Glory: A History of the African-American Athlete, 1610-1918 (Vol 1) covers the period from 1619, when Africans were very first brought to these shores as slaves, to 1918, the end of the First World War. From 1865 through 1896, African Americans succeeded spectacularly in sports. It was this period that gave rise to Jack Johnson, the very first Black heavy weight champion; Marshall Taylor, 'the world's fastest cyclist'; and Isaac Murphy, the very first three-time winner of the Kentucky Derby.

The book is a historical sketch, informative and useful. A good introduction to the subject matter.

Arthur Ashe made many fine contributions to America, but this isn't one of them. Not up to the standard set by the other books in the series.
