Stump was pretty much the worst. He had no integrity and (as stated) he even forged items and passed them off to those in the hobby. Anything written by Stump should be completely disregarded.

The contemporary accounts of Cobb truly paint a different picture of a much more complicated man that certainly had his faults but not nearly the monster we had been led to believe.

There aren't any Cobb haters in Royston. I've been there and spoke with some old-timers who knew him.

His book A Terrible Beauty is easily one of the best sports books I've ever read. The amount of research he did is incredible.
