  • 50 Years of NASCAR Captures All That Has Made Bill France’S Dream Into a Firm, Big-Money Reality
    < mill NASCAR OF NASCAR ■ TP'S FAST, ITS FURIOUS, IT'S SPINE- I tingling, jump-out-of-youn-seat action, a sport created by a fan for the fans, it’s all part of the American dream. Conceived in a hotel room in Daytona, Florida, in 1948, NASCAR is now America’s fastest-growing sport and is fast becoming one of America’s most-watched sports. As crowds flock to see state-of-the-art, 700-horsepower cars powering their way around high-banked ovals, outmaneuvering, outpacing and outthinking each other, NASCAR has passed the half-century mark. 50 Years of NASCAR captures all that has made Bill France’s dream into a firm, big-money reality. It traces the history and the development of the sport through the faces behind the scene who have made the sport such a success and the personalities behind the helmets—the stars that the crowds flock to see. There is also a comprehensive statistics section featuring the results of the Winston Cup series and the all-time leaders in NASCAR’S driving history plus a chronology capturing the highlights of the sport. Packed throughout with dramatic color illustrations, each page is an action-packed celebration of all that has made the sport what it is today. Whether you are a die-hard fan or just an armchair follower of the sport, 50 Years of NASCAR is a must-have addition to the bookshelf of anyone with an interest in the sport. $29.95 USA/ $44.95 CAN THIS IS A CARLTON BOOK ISBN 1 85868 874 4 Copyright © Carlton Books Limited 1998 Project Editor: Chris Hawkes First published 1998 Project Art Editor: Zoe Maggs Reprinted with corrections 1999, 2000 Picture Research: Catherine Costelloe 10 9876 5 4321 Production: Sarah Corteel Design: Graham Curd, Steve Wilson All rights reserved.

I am persuaded that mountain goats were historically absent in the area. All documents were useful, but I am most influenced by Randall Schalk's ethnographic and archaeological work. From his and similar works, I have come to understand just how thoroughly native peoples made full "use" of their environment. If goats had existed on the Peninsula during the time period studied, a resource that valuable would have left abundant evidence. The least persuasive work by far was that of Professor Lyman's. To be blunt, I found it to be a poorly written, poorly edited, and poorly published bit of speculation of what might possibly be found if there were enough grants to support enough digs. This piece is akin to a historian lamenting that if the courthouse had not burned down with all the records it supposedly contained, that no doubt someone could write a fine history that would answer all of our questions. If life were only that simple. Ms. Schultz's historical work was most competent and readable, and also persuasive. I found it to be properly balanced, given her assignment. She reviewed the logical sources, dealing convincingly with the occasional references to goats.
