Two weeks after the US officially entered World War I, Irish American “Bricklayer Bill†Kennedy won the Boston Marathon wearing his stars-and-stripes bandana. Kennedy became an American hero and a racing legend. Bricklayer Bill takes us back to another time, when bricklayers, plumbers, and printers could take the stage as star athletes.
