Trade Review
“From scenes of Senecas playing snow snake and Cheyennes competing in chungke, to the exploits of Olympian runner Billy Mills and Yankee pitcher Allie Reynolds, Oxendine has compiled a useful compendium of information on traditional Indian games and the entry of Native Americans into modern collegiate and professional sports, especially during the ‘heyday’ period between 1890 and 1930.”—Choice
