Chris Willis, a football historian, tells the story of Harold 'Red' Grange, whom the book presents as the nation's first NFL star. The biography is published to celebrate the league's 100th season.
In the 1920s, while playing as a junior halfback for the University of Illinois, Grange grew into a figure of national attention. The book also places him among the great athletes of the Roaring Twenties, and the catalogue description names Bobby Jones, Jack Dempsey and Babe Ruth as fellow figures of that period who drew wide public attention.
