Cowboys an' Indians - the first 20 years of football battles

This book details the first twenty years of the NFL rivalry of the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins. It has brief recollections of each of the forty games played in that twenty year period. These include not only important plays from each game, but related events. For example - the comments made by Redskin defensive players who were going to "get Staubach" so the only QB the Cowboys would have was that kid. Well, they knocked out Staubach that Thanksgiving Day, but Clint Longley came in and brought "the Pokes" back in one of the more memorable wins in NFL history. Each game is well described with many insightful comments. Few details are as revered to Cowboy fans as how Cowboy founder Clint Murcheson - in true JR Ewing style - aquired the rights to the famous Redskin fight song "Hail to the Redskins". He then used that as leverage to "pursuade" the Redskin owner to vote to put an expansion team in Dallas. That is typical of the kind of stories that are found in the two decade history of these two teams. It is must reading for Cowboy and Redskin fans.
