The Jack Dempsey Story

Years ago, 1966 to be exact, in the 7th grade at Mary Meller Junior High School in Pico Rivera California, this book, "The Jack Dempsey Story" by Gene Schoor caught my eye. By the time I was done reading it I was hooked.

The book itself is probably not the most in depth book on Dempsey but it was written for young readers and it was inspiring. This book is the genesis of my life long love affair with the sport of boxing (along with my father and Muhammad Ali). I checked it out from the library more times than I can remember during my junior high years.

I own other books on Dempsey but through the years I was always on the lookout for this particular book. One day, a few years back on Amazon, I searched for Jack Dempsey books, and lo and behold, there it was. Needless to say, I bought it.

Coincidentally, this book was also, at one time, a library book at a school in California. 

Probably more than you need to know but I thought I would share this.
