Brandy For Heroes is a comprehensive biography of John Morrissey, a legendary figure in American boxing history who also served as a State Senator. Written by Jack Kofoed, the book delves into Morrissey's life from his humble beginnings as an Irish immigrant in Troy, New York, to his rise as one of the most feared and respected fighters of his time. The book covers Morrissey's early years as a bare-knuckle fighter, his rise to the top of the boxing world, and his eventual retirement from the sport. It also explores his political career, including his election to the New York State Senate and his role in shaping the state's gambling laws. Throughout the book, Kofoed provides vivid descriptions of Morrissey's fights and the colorful characters who inhabited the boxing world in the mid-19th century. Brandy For Heroes is a fascinating look at a true American hero, a man who rose from poverty to become one of the most celebrated figures of his time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
