Was a gift for my Dad he loved it!! Growing up in Ohio this brought some good memories along with some history from his home state.

Super interesting for not only buckeye fans, but college football and history fans! Only complaint I have is the print is very small. This was a gift for my father so I'm worried even with his readers on he night struggle.

This was a great gift for my husband. He loves Ohio State and after thinking of something unique to give him, besides another figurine, I found this book. He was thoroughly impressed.

This is as much a history of the early university as it is a history of OSU football. The author has really humanizes the facts in a very engaging style. Very enjoyable!
