In 1954, a wide-eyed youngster named Gareld Rollins arrived on the campus of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas as a freshman, slated to work as a student manager for the football team. The head coach, who had just arrived at A&M the previous February, was Paul ';Bear' Bryant, who was already in the process of becoming a sports legend. Bryant had brought with him Charles ';Smokey' Harper as head athletic trainer, who not only taped ankles and administered first aid to injured players but was also Bryant's most trusted advisor on the topic of his players' ability, potential, and, above all, their grit.In Return to Junction: Smokey and the Bear and Other Aggie Football Stories, Rollins tells the behind-the-scenes stories of the Bryant era in Texas A&M football, a time that began amid ';the goat-head stickers and dust' of a practice field in Junction, Texas, and ended with the shocking news that Bryant intended to ';go home to Mama,' taking the head coaching job at the University of Alabama. In fact, as Rollins relates, he had the jobas both a trusted athletic trainer and the student editor of the Texas A&M campus newspaper, the Battalionof secretly helping Coach Bryant draft the news release that would officially announce his departure from A&M. Featuring interviews and recollections from many of those who lived that time along with him, Rollins gives readers a firsthand view of what has come to be seen as a golden time in Texas A&M football.
