The greatest American Indian baseball player of all time, Charles Albert Bender was, according to a contemporary, the coolest pitcher in the game. Using a trademark delivery, an impressive assortment of pitches that may have included the games first slider, and an apparently unflappable demeanor, he earned a reputation as baseballs great clutch pitcher during tight Deadball Era pennant races and in front of boisterous World Series crowds. More remarkably yet, Chief Benders Hall of Fame career unfolded in the face of enormous prejudice. Winner of the 2009 Seymour Medal, this skillfully told and complete account of Benders life is also a portrait of greatness of character in the face of incredible pressure.With a journalists eye for detail and a novelists feel for storytelling, Tom Swift takes readers on Benders improbable journeyfrom 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 onceunfathomable celebrity while suffering the harsh injustices of a racially intolerant world, Chief Benders Burden is an eyeopening and inspiring narrative of a unique American life.
