Summary |
With a journalist?s eye for detail and a novelist?s feel for storytelling, Tom Swift takes readers on Bender?s improbable journey?from his early years on the White Earth Reservation, to his development at the Carlisle Indian School, to his big break and eventual rise to the pinnacle of baseball. The story of a paradoxical American sports hero, one who achieved a once-unfathomable celebrity while suffering the harsh injustices of a racially intolerant world, Chief Bender?s Burden is an eye-opening and inspiring narrative of a unique American life |
