| Publisher Description: The idea for the book, IT GETS FOGGY AT MOSSY CHEEK, was born in 1969. In order to complete my Doctorate at the University of Georgia I had to write a dissertation. I did not want to select a subject that would not have any meaning or future value. So many people write on something like "How Many Push-Ups a Rat Can Do" and it is placed in File 13 never to be heard from again. I love history. The events that have taken place in the past help mold our future. What made great people tick helps us find ourselves and improve our own lives. In light of this, I decided to do a historical study involving the Origin and Development of Carson-Newman College Athletics since 1851. Except for changing the order of certain chapters and the addition of numerous pictures the actual dissertation has stayed the same to my regret. I wanted very much to write and tell events in a more creative way but lack of time and dissertation style would not permit. Many athletes, teams and events have probably been left out but this was not intentional I assure you. |
