 | Junction by Gene Stallings, Jim Dent
This sports history recalls ten days in 1954 when Coach Paul Bear Bryant took his Texas A&M football team to the town of Junction, Texas, where he put them through a most grueling football boot camp --out of which 35 players emerged as a coherent team. Many players--including Gene Stallings, whose stories helped inspire this book--speak of the experience as the most formative in their careers. Bryant went on to lead the Texas Aggies to the Southwest Conference championship in 1956, and was later to become a successful coach at the University of Alabama. AUTHOR: Gene Stallings, Jim Dent
