Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 On August 1, the first day of practice for the 1988 season, Coach Gary Gaines delivered his team a new rallying cry: Coin to State in eighty-eight. His words could have come from any high school coach renewing the ritual of sport.

#2 Odessa, Texas, was founded in the 1880s by a group of men from Zanesville, Ohio. They saw a great opportunity to make money if they could get people to travel to Odessa. They promoted it as a utopian health spa with a $12,000 college and a public library.

#3 The town of Odessa, Texas, was founded in 1886 by a syndicate of investors who wanted to create a utopian community. However, it was not a good match for the Methodists who arrived to try and fit in with the ranchers and cowboys who were already there.

#4 Odessa was a boom town in Texas, and it was enmeshed in the cycles of the boom-and-bust oil town. It became a transient town, a place to come to and make money when the boom was on, and then get as far away from it as possible with the inevitable bust.
