by Shawn Buchanan Greene $45.00, 216 pages, hard cover The game, often cited as the longest, continuous high school rivalry west of the Mississippi River, is much more than that statement. It is the grandest rivalry in the country. No other rivalry matches in style or substance the tradition as observed by the communities of Kirkwood and Webster Groves. This first book ever written about the Turkey Day Game tradition and football rivalry, explains for the first time in one place why the two schools even began the Turkey Day Game, as well as documenting the earliest known information about the rivalry between the two schools prior to Turkey Day 1907. |
