In Crazy Fourth, Toby Smith tells the story of how the African American boxer Jack Johnson, the bombastic and larger-than-life reigning world heavyweight champion, met Jim Flynn on the Fourth of July in Las Vegas, New Mexico. In the end, once the dust finally settled on the whole unseemly spectacle, Las Vegas would spend the next generation making good on its losses. Adult.
