Doctors, Lawyers, Indian Chiefs

Description

ISBN 978-0-9774486-7-8, 352 pages, softcover.

Doctors, Lawyers, Indian Chiefs: Jim Thorpe & Pop Warner’s Carlisle Indian
School football immortals tackle socialites, bootleggers, students, moguls,
prejudice, the government, ghouls, tooth decay and rum

Period illustrations, particularly cartoons, are included where appropriate to show how the Carlisle team was treated, even by big city newspapers. Today many of these caricatures with oversized noses and other exaggerations would be considered racist. Others make fun of the patricians the Indians so often defeated.

Sit back and enjoy reading about the exploits of Frank Cayou, Bill Gardner, Pete Calac, Joe Guyon, Frank Mt. Pleasant, Gus Welch, the Pierce brothers, Al Exendine and all the rest. You will surely become acquainted with some interesting individuals you may have never heard of before. Surely some interesting people will be missed. It is the author’s hopes that this book will cause information about them to surface to necessitate a second edition.
