Other than wishing that Swift had done more to show the racism Charles Bender struggled with all his life, I enjoyed this look at baseball during the Deadball Era through the life of one Hall-of-Fame pitcher. Swift has researched Bender's life and accomplishments meticulously but he also immersed himself in the baseball culture and wider society of Bender's times. Fascinating book.

With a journalist's eye for detail and a novelist's feel for storytelling, Tom Swift takes readers on Bender's improbable journey-from his early years on the White Earth Reservation, to his development at the Carlisle Indian School, to his big break and eventual rise to the pinnacle of baseball. The story of a paradoxical American sports hero, one who achieved a once-unfathomable celebrity while suffering the harsh injustices of a racially intolerant world, Chief Bender's Burden is an eye-opening and inspiring narrative of a unique American life.
