Chicago Bears History

By Roy Taylor

Book Overview

When George S. Halas was asked to rebuild the Staley Company's football club in Decatur, Illinois in 1920, nobody could have imagined that his efforts would forever change Sunday afternoons in America. Halas helped found the National Football League, and with it the Chicago Bears, the most storied franchise in the league's history. From the Galloping Ghost, to the Monsters of the Midway, to that indomitable 46 defense-the Grabowskis as their coach named them-Bears teams and players have made such an impact on the city of big shoulders that Chicago will be forever known as a Bears town.

great book

This is a great book and has wonderful facts on the Chicago Bears I would reccommend to all Bears fans.

Oustanding Chicago Bears Book

I had a great time reading this book. It has many photographs throughout the Bears' history, which made the reading more enjoyable. The story is thorough but not dull and boring. The chapters are parceled out in such a fashion that it keeps your interest, and enables you to put the book down and pick right back up again later. This book would be a delight for any Bears fans, young or old.

A great story told through text and photos

Roy Taylor does a fine job telling one of the most compelling sports stories of all time. The photos/captions combined with the text give a true and complete depiction of what the Bears have meant to the fans since their 1920 inception. This well-written book is a must-have for any Bears fan.
