The images in this book, Historic Photos of University of Michigan
Football, depict 100 years of gridiron action and the players and
coaches who competed on three historic fields. The first football team
at the University of Michigan was established in 1879. From winning the
first-ever Tournament of Roses game, to back-to-back national
championships, Michigan football created an unparalleled tradition
during its first century.
Selected from the extensive collection at the University of Michigan's
Bentley Historical Library, the dramatic photos in this volume include
rarities from games in the early 1900s, classic showdowns between
Michigan and Ohio State, and All-American athletes such as the first
Michigan Wolverine to win the Heisman Trophy. In vivid black and white,
the first hundred years of Michigan football unfold in these remarkable
images of the players, coaches, and fans.
