Chief Illiniwek: A Tribute to an Illinois Tradition

by John Foreman (editor)

This book is about the tradition, the symbol, portrayed by young men (and one young woman) over the course of 81 years for the fans and alums who treasured those portrayals and all they represented. It documents the athleticism, sincerity and spirit of those young people, chronicles how the tradition was created and evolved and explains, in the words of many, the passion it evoked.
