by Kevin R. Smith

I have finally gotten this bad boy together. Check it out if you like--I think many of you will find it interesting to say the least.

Well, if it's anywhere as good as the first volume ....... it should be well worth buying.

Thank Bladder
Here is a review of the book by Tracy Callis, boxing Historian of the CBZ

I have heard many, many good things about your books RowanSmith, I look forward to reading them.

Thanks KOJoe! Its always nice to hear good things.

I tend to over look the new boxing titles in my search for the old titles, but I shall make a point of getting the two titles you have mentioned.

The Sundowners title looks the more interesting at first look, and 656pages seems an absolute bargain.

Report back when I get a copy ...and read it

Is it going to be made available via Amazon.co.uk?

I asked the same question (the lulu site was asking almost $60 for standard delivery), and got the answer yes, in the next month or two.

Cool.

just got my copy of Kevin's new book yesterday (The Sundowners: The History of the Black Prizefighter 1870-1930 Volume II Part One). Although I've only had time to read a little bit of it so far, picking the sections on big George Godfrey, Battling Gahee, George "Kid" Cotton, and Jeff Clarke for example, I found those sections extremely informative and interesting to read, especially the one about Godfrey. Great stuff, I highly recommend this book!
