Record #:
16375
Abstract:
North Carolina is well-known today for team sports, including basketball and football. The state was also known in the 1800s and 1900s for its role in horse racing. It is not well-remembered, however, that antebellum North Carolina sports entertainment included fistic gladiators, a form of boxing popular during this period.
