Young Heisman and the Origins of His Game (1869-1891)
The years after the Civil War when the continent was only partly explored were the halcyon days of the Go-Getters. They went in search of what others had never imagined was there to get. The Go-Getters made something out of nothing, they brought meat out of the desert, found oil in the rocks, and brought light to millions. They discovered new resources, and where there seemed none to be discovered, they invented new ways of profiting from others who were trying to invent and to discover.
--Daniel J. Boorstin, The Americans: The Democratic Experience ( 1974)
The danger to college football, as in anything else, lies in the failure to know the origins of the game and the people responsible for its growth and maturity.
-- Jack Whitaker, Foreword to John T. Brady, The Heisman: A Symbol of Excellence ( 1984)
THE "GREENING" OF A FOOTBALL COACH (1869-1886)
The world John William Heisman was born into was the fiercely competitive world of the cattle, railroad, and oil barons, a world that saw the rise of big business and the advent of the corporation. In short, it was an era dominated and controlled economically by rugged individuals known popularly as gogetters. A peculiarly American breed, these were men who found ways to get rich by capitalizing on every opportunity that came their way, often from the unexpected windfalls of a rapidly developing country still searching for its identity.

Coach Heisman, Football Missionary: The Game Spreads (1892-1903)
The passion feeding football in western Pennsylvania was the passion of chargers and hitters who gloried in their endurance of pain and punishment. There is a strain of masochism in the western Pennsylvania character, almost a need to absorb punishment in order to prove oneself.
-- Michael Novak, The Joy of Sports ( 1976)
American football, with its violent element, fit well into the American mentality which demanded manliness and the virile features of society. The perceived function of football as a facilitator of manly qualities was a potent force in making the sport a featured activity on most college campuses.

6 The Inception of the Heisman Trophy: Memorializing the Coach, the Player, and Their Game (1928-1936)
No one player or coach or team or college ever knew or will know all there is to know about football.
-- John W. Heisman, Principles of Football ( 1922)
While the Heisman Trophy is given to but one man, it serves, too, as a symbol of the general excellence of college football. . . . The Heisman, in its broadest and best sense, is an award presented annually which honors the greatness of college football as it is embodied in one man.
-- John T. Brady, The Heisman: A Symbol of Excellence ( 1984)
