Author Description

From dust jacket flap: More than a story about sports or business or oil and gas or even the tale of two cities. This book is a colorful and compelling account of two vastly different ways of life: the Cherokee retreat of the early and mid 1800s and the rise and explosion of pro football that began in 1960 with the birth of the new league. Kenneth Stanley (Bud) Adams is a descendant of the former and a catalyst for the latter. Adams at 87 has outlived his reputation and most of his critics. He is the longest continuing owner of a pro sports franchise in America, and with Ralph Wilson of the buffalo Bills the last original founders of the American Football league. (Book was printed in 2010) Bud is no longer here.
