Book Signing and Lecture with Charles Leerhsen

Author Charles Leerhsen will be at the Detroit Historical Museum to promote his new book Ty Cobb: A Terrible Beauty on Saturday, June 13 starting at 11 a.m. Leershen will give a short lecture on his book in the Allesee Gallery of Culture which will be followed by a book signing outside the Museum Store.

In Ty Cobb: A Terrible Beauty Leerhsen, a former executive editor of Sports Illustrated, argues that the truths we think we know about Cobb are inaccurate and that these dark tales were spun after his death by an unreliable collaborator and biographer. This revelatory new book explores the myths behind one of the game's most controversial characters.
