Pro football just after World War I was an interesting period in gridiron history indeed. As what would become the NFL was just starting up there were other, and I say this loosely, "leagues" where paid football players took the field. One of those was a short-lived group of teams in the Coal Region of Eastern Pennsylvania fondly called the Anthracite League. Historian https://pigskindispatch.com/(searchresults)?q2=%22Joe+Zagorski%22 (Joe Zagorski) visits to talk about this and more.
