A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Ralph Henry Barbour (Also wrote as Richard Stillman Powell)(November 13, 1870 – February 19, 1944) was an American novelist, who wrote popular works of sports fiction for boys. Left Guard Gilbert is such a story. Excerpts: "HOLD up!" Coach Robey, coatless, vestless, hatless, his old flannel trousers held up as by a miracle with the aid of a leather strap scarcely deserving the name of belt, pushed his way through the first squad players. The Brimfield Head Coach was a wiry, medium-sized man of about thirty, with a deeply-tanned face from which sharp blue eyes looked out under whitish lashes that were a shade lighter than his eyebrows and two shades lighter than his sandy hair. As the afternoon was excessively hot, even for the twenty-first day of September and in proximity to Long Island Sound, Mr. George Robey's countenance was bathed in perspiration and the faded blue silk shirt was plastered to his body.
