This full-color history of Aggieland's pride, spirit, and great
football program contains more than one hundred photos of the
campus, its students and faculty, and Kyle Field and its football
legends, then and now.
	
    Written by Homer Jacobs, an Aggie graduate and editor of 12th
Man Magazine, the book describes A&M's beginnings as a remote
land-grant college in central Texas and recounts many of the
highlights and glories of its development. Today, with an enrollment of
more than 44,000 students, the University has evolved into an
academic as well as athletic powerhouse, while retaining its core
characteristics and military leadership role.

    Whether describing Texas A&M's many revered traditions—
from Silver Taps to Muster to Midnight Yell Practice—
interviewing some of the University's special people, or reviewing
the football team's greatest seasons, Jacobs catches the spirit,
the pride, and the uniqueness that makes Aggieland a place like no
other.
