It's reported Hackenschmidt has written a book titled, The Way to Live.
Notes:
Half contains tips on physical culture.
The other half contains a story of his "wonderful career."
Hackenschmidt told a reporter he will "finally retire" once the rematch with Frank Gotch happens.
It's said he is discreetly silent about when he first met Gotch.
