Review Excerpt:

"Signal thanks to journalist Swift for this authoritative biography of Charles Albert Bender, the early 20th-century pitcher who managed to shine in both the big leagues and in life while confronting ... racism. Swift sets aside the myths about this most famous American Indian player while vividly describing him ... [This book] is for all interested in the First Nations, quite apart from baseball."
