People of Prowess is written by Nancy L. Struna and published by University of Illinois Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0252065522 (ISBN 10) and 9780252065521 (ISBN 13).

Prowess--extraordinary skill and ability, especially in sports--has always been important to Americans, even in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Nancy L. Struna explores the significance, meaning, and structure of competitive matches and displays of physical prowess for both men and women in colonial culture. Engrossingly written for the general reader as well as sport and leisure historians, People of Prowess is a pioneering work that explores a rarely examined area of colonial history and society.
