"Before there was Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, and Jack Johnson, there was George Dixon. Although just ninety-seven pounds when he first entered the ring, the diminutive Dixon punched above his weight to become one of the most famous athletes during the Gilded Age. Jason Winders rescues the tale of this first Black world boxing champion from history's dustbin and gives readers ringside seats as Dixon battles not just fellow fighters but also the racism of Jim Crow America while becoming champion on three continents. Thoroughly researched, this book brings to life the true story of a remarkable sporting trailblazer." --Christopher Klein, author of Strong Boy: The Life and Times of John L. Sullivan, America's First Sports Hero, "With George Dixon: The Short Life of Boxing's First Black World Champion, 1870-1908 , Jason Winders has finally provided the world with a treatment of the trailblazing pugilist worthy of his accomplishments. ... Unlike other histories of Dixon, Winders's treatment is more than a mere chronicling of a boxing career. It transports the reader beyond boxing, weaving the nuances of nineteenth- century American life into the narrative to provide a portrait of Dixon that flows with the social currents of his times. It is impeccably researched and beautifully written. ... Winders's book is the single most important volume ever published on Dixon, giving the pioneering boxer a treatment he so obviously deserved. This is the best boxing book I have read in a decade." --Gregory Ross, Journal of Sport History , Fall 2022

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

The seller is one of the best there is - high quality books, reasonable prices, securely packaged.
I do, however, recommend some changes to their shipping - they show a shipper (SortHub) on eBay, but the tracking # they email is for a different carrier. It’s difficult to know where my purchase is.
This time, it was delivered a week late. In the grand scheme of things not a big deal. But it shouldn’t be this difficult to accurately track my purchase.
