Bradbury Robinson
Bradbury Norton Robinson, Jr. (February 1, 1884 – March 7, 1949) was a pioneering American football player, physician, and local politician. He played college football at the University of Wisconsin in 1903 and at Saint Louis University from 1904 to 1907. In 1904, through personal connections to Wisconsin governor Robert M. La Follette, Sr. and his wife, Belle Case, Robinson learned of calls for reforms to the game of football from President Theodore Roosevelt, and began to develop tactics for passing. After moving to Saint Louis University, Robinson threw the first legal forward pass in the history of American football on September 5, 1906, at a game at Carroll College in Waukesha, Wisconsin. He became the sport's first triple threat man, excelling at running, passing, and kicking.
Robinson graduated from Saint Louis University in 1908 with a medical degree and practiced as a surgeon in Rochester, Minnesota. After serving as an infantry officer in France during World War I, he remained in Europe on the staff of Hugh S. Cumming, Surgeon General of the United States. He returned to the United States in 1926 and practiced medicine in St. Louis, Michigan, where he was twice elected the city's mayor. In the 1940s, Robinson was among the first to warn against the dangers of DDT use in agriculture.
==Early life==
After Robinson's birth in Bellevue, Ohio and while still a toddler, his family moved to St. Louis, Missouri where Robinson's father, Bradbury Norton Robinson, Sr. (1842–1924), became general baggage agent for the Missouri–Kansas–Texas Railroad. The senior Robinson spent most of his adult life working for railroads. Born in Lowell, Massachusetts, he served one year as a sergeant in the Union Army before moving for the first time to Missouri in 1862 to participate in the construction of the Missouri Pacific Railroad from St. Louis to Kansas City.〔''Michigan Centennial History'', Volume 5, pages 109 to 111, 1939〕
Before the young Robinson was old enough to attend school, the family moved again to Baraboo, Wisconsin, to be near his mother's family. Robinson's mother, Amelia Lee Robinson (1856–1930), was born in London, England and moved with her parents to the Baraboo area in 1878.〔 Robinson was raised in Baraboo, a place he later joked was "made famous by the Ringling Brothers Circus...and myself." The Circus was founded the same year that Robinson was born.
