'Warrior in the Ring' tells story of boxing champ from Montana

In this elegantly written biography, you have the chance to relive the personal and professional struggles and triumphs of one of Montana’s most successful yet elusive athletes, Marvin Camel, the first cruiserweight boxing champion.

Following a brief history of the area and of the Flathead Indian Reservation where a young Camel spent his childhood, you begin the story by meeting his parents: Alice, a welder in the U.S. Navy shipyards from the Pend d’Oreille tribe, and Henry, an African American Navy petty officer and club boxer.
