The Irish and the Making of American Sport, 1835-1920
Examines the Irish sportsman from the arrival of James Deaf Burke in 1836 through to Jack B. Kelly's rejection by Henley regatta and his subsequent gold medal at the 1920 Olympics. It deals with the complex interaction that Irih sportsmen had with alcohol, gambling and Sunday leisure. It also covers the Irish sportsman's close relations with politicians, his role in labour relations, his violent lifestyle, and by contrast his participation in bringing respectability to sport.
