Wrestling and Wrestlers: Biographical Sketches of Celebrated Athletes of the Northern Ring

by Jacob Robinson

Overview

Biographies of wrestlers from northern England, first published in 1893. "To which is added notes on bull and badger baiting." According to the Preface: "Every dale and valley, every nook and corner, throughout Cumberland, Westmorland, and North Lancashire, at all likely to yield materials, has been ransacked and laid under subservience in the compilation of this volume; and it now becomes the pleasant duty to record the fact, that not a single instance of unwillingness was met with, on the part of the multitude of narrators, who supplied the items of the various events chronicled.”
