Peahead! by Tucker Mitchell
There's never been a coach quite like Peahead Walker. While leading three different college football teams and one Canadian pro team from 1927-1958, Walker cut a wide and woolly path through one of the most interesting times in American football. He was part coach and part comedian; a brilliant sideline manager who lifted underdog Wake Forest to national prominence; and a gifted banquet speaker who left audiences rolling in the aisles across the Southeast. Author Tucker Mitchell interviewed more than sixty of Walker's former players and close associates, and plumbed countless print resources to produce an intimate portrait of Walker's life and times.
Tucker Mitchell is an award-winning writer who spent more than thirty years in the newspaper business as reporter, writer, columnist, editor, publisher and owner. He's a graduate of Wake Forest University, where he somehow managed to obtain a degree in History, which is sort of a long, slow form of journalism. Tucker is married to Cindy. They have two grown children, and two grandchildren. This is Tucker's second book. His first work, the critically unacclaimed HORNETS NEVER LIE, was published in 1989.
