| GOPHERLAND GRAPPLING: the Early Years
Release Date: 2006 / Author: James Melby / Publisher: Arena Publishing DESCRIPTION A well-researched book authored by one of professional wrestling's leading historians. Jim Melby takes the reader through the formative years of the sport in the "Gopher" state of Minnesota - long considered a hotbed of professional wrestling during the "Golden Age." The book covers the era from 1933 to 1959 with a perspective of promoters, participants and matches of the time period. Mr. Melby spent years on this project, and the result is a phenomenal work of wrestling research. Included are many, many rarely or never-before-seen photos hand-picked by Mr. Melby for this book. Anybody with any interest in the formative stages of pro wrestling will find this book a "must read." Order from Wrestling Revue |
