Description
The Chicago Tribune Book of the Chicago Bears is a decade-by-decade take a look at the Chicago Bears, beginning with George Halas moving the team to Chicago in 1921. The Bears soon become referred to as the Monsters of the Midway, dominating the game with four NFL titles within the 1940s, seven winning campaigns within the 1950s, and a final title with Halas as coach in 1963. Their 1985 Super Bowl championship transformed the city’s passion into a full-blown love affair that continues lately.
Professional football was once practically born in Chicago, nurtured by Halas throughout the Depression and a world war. The sport was once made for Chicago, in Chicago, by a Chicagoan. Now the award-winning journalists, photographers, and editors of the Chicago Tribune have produced a comprehensive collector’s item that each Bears fan will love.
