520 1 $a"Ellison "Tarzan" Brown was one of America's premier marathon runners during the 1930s and 1940s. With his unorthodox approach and his spectacular finishes, Tarzan Brown quickly became a legend. Inevitably, he also became the subject of stories that were not always factual - and sometimes not flattering." "This biography seeks to present an accurate account of Brown's life. The reminiscences of his friends, family and even his rivals paint a vivid picture of the man and his career. The book covers events such as Brown's trip to the 1936 Olympic Games in Germany and his role in the naming of Heartbreak Hill on the course of the Boston Marathon. Also discussed are the relationships between Brown and other marathoners of the day." "Completing the picture are a look at Brown's personal life and an examination of his Narragansett Indian heritage. The final chapter discusses the misconceptions surrounding Brown's accidental death outside a bar in 1975."--BOOK JACKET.
