Description: "Very little has been documented about the early days of pro football and the pioneers who had a major influence on the history of the National Football League (NFL). Willis addresses this neglect with Old Leather: An Oral History of Early Pro Football in Ohio, 1920-1935. This collection of original and archival interviews of former players, owners, fans, family members, and league officials provides a rare glimpse into the origins of professional football."--Jacket.
