In their early years, the Chicago Bears and the Chicago
Cardinals-two of the longest-lived teams in football-travelled the
country with only rare mention in the newspapers. Both teams later
saw their official records destroyed by fire. Most of what is now
known about them is based on often inaccurate statements made many
years later. Reconstructing their missing history, this book draws
on newly available resources to document the battles and brawls
both on and off the field, the cunning backroom deals, the
financial woes and the 40-year rivalry that endured while both
teams were in Chicago. Figures like Al Capone, Red Grange, Jim
Thorpe and Bronko Nagurski make appearances in the unearthed lore
of two old adversaries whose uneasy alliance helped ensure the
survival of the fledgling NFL.
