| Publisher Description: From 1884 to 1894, between the ages of 25 and 35, Walter Camp established his reputation as "the father of American football." He was the first coach, a tireless promoter of the sport, the most prominent member of the rules committee, and a prolific writer. The 36 articles and 1 book in this volume were read by aspiring football players nationwide. They used Camp's information and advice as an instruction manual for the game they were just starting to learn. His works form the most influential body of work in football history. The source material was scanned directly from the original publications and restored by The Lost Century of Sports Collection. Other football books in The Lost Century of Sports Collection include The Lost Century of American Football, The American Football Trilogy, The First Decade of College Football, Football Linemen, and Classic Football Art. |
