Book Description
On the field, legends like Don Hutson, Ray Nitschke, and Brett Favre made the Green Bay Packers into a professional football powerhouse. But the history of the NFL’s only small-town franchise is as much a story of business creativity as gridiron supremacy. Behind every Packer who became a legend on the field, there was an Andrew Turnbull, Dominic Olejniczak, or Bob Harlan, leaders whose dedication and creativity in preserving the franchise were unwavering. Green Bay Packers: Trials, Triumphs, and Traditions tells the improbable story of professional football’s most iconic team, and along the way gives a unique window into the rise of modern professional sports. As the NFL has evolved into a financial juggernaut, the Green Bay Packers, with more than 112,158 stockholders, stand alone as the only professional sports franchise owned by fans, thus providing the only public record of how a sports team is run. Featuring more than 300 photographs, some never before seen, Green Bay Packers illustrates how the most creative team in sports is also one of the most successful, with names like Lambeau, Canadeo, Lombardi, Hornung, Holmgren, and White leading the way to a league-best thirteen NFL titles and twenty-one Hall of Fame inductees. This comprehensive, up-to-date history of the Packers includes the 2011 season.

Book Description
Excerpt from Old Abe, the Eighth Wisconsin War Eagle: A Full Account of His Capture and Enlistment, Exploits in War and Honorable as Well as Useful Career in Peace "Ah! that Eagle of Freedom! when cloud upon cloud Swathed the sky of my own native land with a shroud - When lightnings gleamed fiercely and thunderbolts rung, How proud to the tempest those piuions were flung! Though the wild blast of battle swept swiftly the air With darkness and dread, still the Eagle was there. Unquailing and towering, his high flight was on, Till the Rainbow of Peace crowned the victory won." The eagle had been the emblem of nations, courts and warriors for centuries before America was even discovered; so in painting him on our banners and graving him on our shields and coins as heraldic of freedom, fearlessness and power, we but acted the part of imitators. Nevertheless, we can hardly be classed any longer as imitators, for the eagle is now as distinctively our own representative of spirit and valor as the lion is of British bravery and strength, although he is also found on the insignia of other nations. And as the nations of the world now rank, this is well; for as the lion is king of beasts, so the eagle is king of birds.
