The Providence Steam Roller: New England’s First NFL Team with author Greg D. Tanter
Join the Rhode Island Historical Society on Thursday, October 10th, at 6 p.m. for book talk on The Providence Steam Roller: New England’s First NFL Team from author Greg D. Tanter.
In this talk, Tanter will bring to life the journey of the Providence Steam Roller, an early NFL franchise that brought major league sports to Rhode Island for the first time, from its birth as an independent pro-football team to its championship-winning heights and swift demise. One of the most unusual yet innovative franchises in NFL history, the Providence Steamroller was known to have overflow crowds at their home stadium long before football became the number one spectator sport in the country.
Individuals can register for this talk here.
Greg D. Tranter is a prominent sports historian, curator, and author with specialized expertise in Buffalo Bills history. He has authored six books on professional sports history and writes for three magazines. He is the assistant executive director of the Pro Football Researchers Association and the editor-in-chief of The Coffin Corner magazine.
