Description

This book tells the story of the Queen City’s first National Football League team—the Buffalo All-Americans/Bisons—its many characters, the fateful 1921 season in which the team had the title in its grasp only to have it stripped away by executive order, and the early years of the league which grew from the loose collection of post-war semi-professional clubs into the most successful sports industry in America. It recounts the smash-mouth, iron-man, mud-slinging style of a bygone era, played by men in leather helmets and tattered moleskins. And it will revive some long-lost memories and inspire pride in the long history and tradition of football in the Queen City.
