The Garden--in four eventful stages--grew from an old railroad shed on Madison Square to a gleaming edifice atop Pennsylvania Station in New York."" ""It's all here, for the price of a single admission, and, as Joe Humphreys, the celebrated fight announcer, might have described the book, ""The Garden has stood the acid test these many years, and now we have an opportunity to relive its fragrant memories.""
