Unrivaled: Sewanee 1899 By Norman Jetmundsen, Jr. | Co-Author Karin Dupree Fecteau Book signing and author presentation | August 14 @2PM Downstairs | Sewanee’s 1899 football team is the ultimate David & Goliath Story. In the 140 years of college football, nothing else comes close to this team and its season. But most Americans don’t know this story. Even most Sewanee devotees only vaguely and partially grasp its drama and significance. This documentary tells the compelling, historically- accurate, and riveting story of the team, the season, and the rare convergence of talent, personalities, and drive that made Sewanee’s 1899 season truly legendary. sewanee1899.org |
