For me, a lot of the authors I discovered/connected with I came across while researching for “I am Your Champion!”

Some names I really recommend (in addition to Ian Douglass!) are Steven Johnson, Greg Klein, & Tim Hornbaker. @tonyrichards4 is another historian to listen to!

Print is dead and the future form of the Post-Gazette may not feature a physical paper at all, but I’m glad to have gotten my grandfather in there at last. He’s been in books and dissertations but never the hometown paper

@davemeltzerWON Which one? Evan or Ed? Evan was the most respected U.S. wrestler of the 1880s through 1890s until his match with Farmer Burns.

[Ian Douglass 🦌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇧🇸 @StreamGlass]

@davemeltzerWON Earlier in fact. Tom Jenkins and Ernest Roeber wrestled Yousouf Ismail, Paul Pons and Halil Adali at Madison Square Garden in the late 1890s.
