Life of Dreams: The Good Times of Sportswriter Fred Russell

en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 mar 2012

Life of Dreams is the first complete biography of Fred McFerrin Russell, one of the all-time stars in sports journalism. This biography details how the Vanderbilt man started with the Nashville Banner in the late 1920s, ascended to Sports Editor and remained with this paper loyally for sixty-nine years. He led the daily charge against the better-funded Tennessean, and it was a fierce rivalry for decades until the Banner folded in 1998.

Outliving almost all of his contemporaries, Russell rubbed elbows with some of the greats of the twentieth century, with

men such as Sparky Anderson, George Steinbrenner, Archie Manning, Vince Dooley, and Lou Holtz.
