<p class="MsoNormal"><i>Eighty-Dollar Champion</i> threw me off too! Titlewave lists it as historical fiction, but everything about the book screams nonfiction. I looked at the cataloging of some public libraries and came up with a possible call number in
my narrative nonfiction: NN 798.25 Letts. I've emailed the publisher to see if they can clarify and will keep you posted if I get an answer. For now, it sits on a cart waiting for a home on the shelves.<u></u><u></u></p>
