Harry Bolton (March 24, 1919 – July 1, 1986) was an American football player.
Bolton was born in 1919 in Gray Horse, Oklahoma. He was an Osage Indian. As a teenager, he participated in the national skeet shooting tournament in 1935 and 1936.[1] [2] [3] He finished fourth in 1935.[4] He played college football for Oklahoma A&M in 1941. He then worked as a farmer in 1942 and 1943.[5]
In 1944, he played professional football in the National Football League (NFL) as a tackle for the Detroit Lions. When he joined the Lions, he was forced to attend workouts in civilian clothes and shoes as the club did not have a uniform large enough for his 300-pound frame. Because of his mental effort, he was given the nickname "Little Beaver" while with the Lions.[6] He appeared in one NFL game during the 1944 season.[7]
