Descriere magazin:
A marvelous job of unveiling the rich and intriguing tapestry of George Varnell\'s life. - Daniel James Brown, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Boys in the Boat This deeply researched book relays the facts about Varnell while imparting the essence of the man, particularly his love of sports and sportsmen.- Timothy P. Brown, author of How Football Became Football: 150 Years of the Game\'s Evolution George Varnell lived the kind of century-filling life that almost sounds like it\'s made up: star athlete, Olympian, coach, sports writer, editor, and Seattle journalism legend. Jeff Burlingame does an excellent job of putting that life into the historical context of the times.

In the days when referees were better known than star players, Varnell was indeed a star profiled in film, magazines, and newspapers; The Seattle Times\' beat reporter for the University of Washington\'s crew team, including the one that won gold in the 1936 Olympics. Varnell helped fundraise for that team so it could attend the Olympics, is regularly sourced in Daniel James Brown\'s The Boys in the Boat, and also has a trophy in his name awarded at the Huskies\' opening-day race each year. The unheralded story of this athlete, groundbreaking Gonzaga Uni
