From The Inside Flap:

Forget A to Z. The Clemson football story reads from H to H, as in Heisman to Howard to Hatfield. Legendary John Heisman (after whom the coveted trophy is named) led the Tigers to their first undefeated season in 1900. Frank Howard was at the helm for the second perfect season in 1948. And Ken Hatfield's senior class of 1990 won more games (40) than any other group in Atlantic Coast Conference history. From the turn of the century, when a Clemson back eluded tacklers by dodging around the oak tree that grew just inside the Furman field, to Danny Ford's national championship team in 1981, to the current string of seven straight bowl appearances, one of the richest traditions in college football has continued to deepen. Now Clemson faithful can enjoy the whole glorious story: the early days under Heisman, the history of Big Thursday, the evolution of The Paws, the thirty-year reign of the fascinating Frank Howard, detailed accounts of all of Clemson's big bowl seasons, and much more. If you wonder why the sleepy college town of Clemson, South Carolina, becomes the second most populous community in the state on home-game Saturdays, DEATH VALLEY DAYS offers pages and pictures of answers.

OUSTANDING AND INFORMATIVE

This book offers an outstanding view of Clemson football. It was the most interesting book I have seen about Clemson. I highly recommed it and have given it to many devoted Clemson fans as a gift. Needless to say they all enjoyed it. It is great to learn so much about Clemson from such a great teacher (Bob Bradley). You could not have a more qualified source.
