About
"How boxing was a driving force in the development of motion pictures in the 1890s, pushing the capacity of the movie camera from twenty seconds to a full minute, then eight minutes, then over an hour, and also driving the development of the projector. Details the rise of boxers Jim Corbett and Bob Fitzsimmons and parallel developments in movie technology, spearheaded by Thomas Edison, William Dickson and others, that ultimately led to their 1897 heavyweight title fight being recorded by film pioneer Enoch Rector to become the world's first feature-length film."--
