About the author

Born in 1881, he graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and first made his name as a football player. He became the first West Point athlete chosen as a first-team All-American by Walter Camp, earning national honors in back-to-back seasons at two different positions.

He went on to serve for decades in the U.S. Army. During World War II, he was among the American officers involved in the defense of Corregidor in the Philippines, and after the island fell to Japanese forces, he was taken prisoner.

He died in captivity in 1943. Remembered both as an early football star and as a soldier who endured some of the war's hardest conditions, he remains a striking figure in West Point history.
