Publisher's Synopsis
I wrote a book about the origin and development of intercollegiate athletics at Carson-Newman College from 1851 to 1974 which was based on my dissertation at the University of Georgia. It has been thirty eight years since the first book was completed (1974). It had 455 pages of everything from early history to the epic that told the story of those first 123 years. This second edition will continue to show the tradition and development of Carson-Newman athletics from 1975 to 2012. The information and pictures came from Carson-Newman Year Books (2007 was the last year for publication). Some years there was no information and other years some sports were not covered. I then used The Orange & Blue, the school newspaper. Beginning in 2008 I had to rely on The Orange and Blue along with Carson-Newman's website for information. The Sports Release was used to get awards received at the Eagle Club/All-Sports Banquet in the spring. I have included the Preface from the first book as that hasn't changed in the last 38 years...
