This is a book about America's first swimming hero, Charles Daniels. A really interesting life and story about his swimming and the whole development of swimming as a sport and then the beginning of the Olympics. Throw in that Daniels also was first to use the modern freestyle swimming stroke too. A lot of good detail and research in this book but not overwhelming to point of boredom as other books I have read. The story kept moving along and there were good side stories about his mother & father as well.
There is 1 WL for this book but might keep for now & see if any friends would be interested in it.
