SIGNED BY 22 MEMBERS OF THE 1954 TEXAS A&M FOOTBALL TEAM. To be specific, signed by: Elwood Kettler, Dutch Ohlendorf, Billy Pete Huddleston, Henry Clark, Bennie Sinclair, Herb Wolf, Bobby Drake Keith, Billy Granberry, Marvin Tate, Bill Schroeder, Jim Burkhart, Bob Easley, Charles Hall, Don Robbins, Ronald Robbins, Ray Barrett, Gene Stallings, Darrell Brown, Joe Schero, Lloyd Hale, Jack Pardee, and Lawrence Winkler.These young men were nominally "The Junction Boys" because Coach Bear Bryant put them through the "Aggie Football Death Camp" for ten days during the summer before the season; this grueling summer training camp was held in Junction, Texas. It's nearly impossible to overstate a how legendary the Junction Boys are and b how uncommon this book is. There are photos and footballs and helmets with a few of the Junction Boys' signatures. But this book's collectability lies in both the sheer volume of signatures and also that this is actual documentation of the summer - signed by many survivors. " Author Jim Dent and contributor Gene Stallings refer to the teammates as "survivors.
