Publisher's Synopsis

""Jack Johnson: In The Ring And Out"" is a biography of the legendary boxer Jack Johnson, written by Johnson himself.

He also delves into his personal life, including his relationships with women and his time spent in prison for violating the Mann Act. The book provides a unique perspective on the life of one of the most influential boxers in history, and sheds light on the social and political climate of the time.This is a new release of the original 1927 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
