The Magnificent Scufflers

Description: MAGNIFICENT SCUFFLERS, by Charles Morrow Wilson, is the first popular history of American wrestling in many years. Unique in this book is the hitherto unknown story of an American sport-the development of a uniquely skillful style of wrestling known as "collar and elbow." It burgeoned in the Irish communities of upstate Vermont, where Father Mc-Quade-the Tramping Priest-and other Catholic missionaries taught scuffling to youthful Green Mountain Boys; it spread during the Civil War and after, when hundreds wrestled simultaneously at the Great Tourney at Bethel-even today it is the core of collegiate and Olympic competition. The book is listed as acceptable as the cover, which is library covered, shows wear. The pages and hardcover and dust cover are not torn nor marked except for library stamps. Acceptable is a low grade, but I try to grade all books low.
