One of our listners and readers Mark J. pointed me to a great book recently by Lars Anderson titled: Carlisle vs. Army: Jim Thorpe, Dwight Eisenhower Pop Warner and the Forgotten Story of Football's Greatest Battle. Mark was absolutely right it is phenominal book and an even better story of a game I had little awareness of ever taking place, as the vaunted Carlisle Indians faced off against a very good Army eleven. With Mr. Anderson's book, people like Mark J. shouting it from the roof tops and this podcast and post I hope the game will be in the recollection of many of us fans of football for times to come.
