North America's Indian peoples have always viewed competitive sport as something more than a pastime. The northeastern Indians' ball-and-stick game that would become lacrosse served both symbolic and practical functions—preparing young men for war, providing an arena for tribes to strengthen alliances or settle disputes, and reinforcing religious beliefs and cultural cohesion. Today a multimillion-dollar industry, lacrosse is played by colleges and high schools, amateur clubs, and two professional leagues. In Lacrosse: A History of the Game, Donald M. Fisher traces the evolution of the sport from the pre-colonial era to the founding in 2001 of a professional outdoor league—Major League Lacrosse—told through the stories of the people behind each step in lacrosse's development: Canadian dentist George Beers, the father of the modern game; Rosabelle Sinclair, who played a large role in the 1950s reinforcing the feminine qualities of the women's game; "Father Bill" Schmeisser, the Johns Hopkins University coach who worked tirelessly to popularize lacrosse in Baltimore; Syracuse coach Laurie Cox, who was to lacrosse what Yale's Walter Camp was to football; 1960s Indian star Gaylord Powless, who endured racist taunts both on and off the field; Oren Lyons and Wes Patterson, who founded the inter-reservation Iroquois Nationals in 1983; and Gary and Paul Gait, the Canadian twins who were All-Americans at Syracuse University and have dominated the sport for the past decade. Throughout, Fisher focuses on lacrosse as contested ground. Competing cultural interests, he explains, have clashed since English settlers in mid-nineteenth-century Canada first appropriated and transformed the "primitive" Mohawk game of tewaarathon, eventually turning it into a respectable "gentleman's" sport. Drawing on extensive primary research, he shows how amateurs and professionals, elite collegians and working-class athletes, field- and box-lacrosse players, Canadians and Americans, men and women, and Indians and whites have assigned multiple and often conflicting meanings to North America's first—and fastest growing—team sport.

The only winners of the Lacrosse World Championships are the United States and Canada. But what if Japan, or Kenya, or Poland entered the scene and won as an underdog?Lacrosse needs to become popular first. Is Lacrosse the next hot sport to hit scene or is it a dying breed? How can Lacrosse become a dominating force, a sport that competes with Fútbol (Soccer) for the world's attention? Lacrosse The Globe not only answers these questions, but also provides a roadmap for World Class Programs to create a foothold in countries that haven't yet experienced the power and excitement of Lacrosse.Lacrosse The Globe challenges the notion that a sport has to remain niche and exclusive to a lucky handful of people. Lacrosse can enter the World's stage in a big way, and the collection of stories from non-profits, collegiate and professional teams, and Hall of Famers shows how and why in the year 2030, instead of chanting at the FIFA World Cup, fans will be watching Japan vs. Kenya in the Championship game - for the second time in a row.

Here Thomas Vennum brings this world to life.
