The Galloping Ghost: Red Grange, an American Football Legend

The Galloping Ghost tells the story of Red Grange, an American sports legend, who is considered one of the best football players ever to put on a uniform. In the 1920s, the Golden Age of American sports, Granges popularity rivaled that of baseball legend Babe Ruth. Grange, a poor kid who helped support his family by laboring as an iceman, was a deer-like runner, a three-time All-American who rose to athletic heights in the biggest games. He had two of the greatest performances ever in college sports andagainst the mores of the timesturned pro, creating a maelstrom, and in the process became a seminal sports figure, a symbol for rebellious manhood, and an American icon.
