BOOK REVIEW ; THE TERROR OF TERRE HAUTE…Bud Taylor And The 1920’s.
AUTHOR ; John D.Wright THIS was a great book ! When I received it I had heard of Charles “Bud” Taylor. I knew he was in the Hall Of Fame but he was a fighter from the past. I really knew little about him. I know better now thanks to author John D. Wright. John’s labor of love brought to light a career forgotten. A career that should be remembered. Bud Taylor was a hell of fighter. He was a hell of a man too and Mr.Wright covers all the bases.
The names on Bud Taylor’s record are impressive to say the least. Just a sample…How about Memphis Pal Moore, Pancho Villa, Charley Phil Rosenberg, Carl Tremaine, Bushy Callahan, Jimmy McLarnin, Tony Canzoneri, Al Singer, Fidel La Barba and Battling Battalino. Need I say more ? This man could fight ! After reviewing Bud’s record I have no doubt that Mr. Taylor is where he belongs…In the Hall Of Fame.
In this book though John D.Wright covers much more then Taylor’s ring accomplishments. He told a story of a man, Bud Taylor.The good, bad and the tragic. This is an outstanding story and a great read. I highly recommend this book. One of the best I’ve read in years. To order this book go to; www.budboxer.com The price is $20.00 It is well worth it !
