AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The Big Town is a fast-moving story of a truck driver turned boxer. Eddie Nash wants success quickly and he gets it for a time—but he finds that happiness is sometimes not a part of success. Without Margie, his girl—and she was left behind in his rush to get to the top—the plans he had dreamed about don’t count for much.'
