description: Jack Dempsey's early life-he called himself "Kid Blackie" in those days-was a colorful, freewheeling, barnstorming period that took him from one Colorado town to another. Manassa, Creede, Montrose, Pueblo, Ouray, Telluride, Durango, Cripple Creek and Denver were all Dempsey haunts. This book is the first to examine in detail Jack Dempsey's youth. From these early beginnings he would become heavyweight champion of the world.
