Product Description
100 years before Lance Armstrong became a famed American bicycle racer in what is considered a 'European' sport, another American rider amassed fame and glory on the bicycle racing tracks of the world: Marshall 'Major' Taylor. The first African-American sportsman outside boxing to become internationally famous, Taylor's life story is one of the most fascinating stories ever told about any athlete--white or black. This illustrated edition is fully updated and expanded and illustrated throughout with over 100 high-quality duotone photographs.
