Northwestern's
2026 season marks the 150th anniversary of NU's first football game. Now, you can read about NU's very first season and how it
all began.
Gus Hornsby's Gamble
tells the story of Augustus Hornsby, the maverick English army officer
who formed the Chicago Foot-Ball Club and taught the game to
Northwestern students. Hornsby's story, relayed here for the first time
anywhere, is a wild ride: he was a pioneer journalist, an explorer, and
eventually a fabulously wealthy real estate tycoon. But his gambling
addiction led to financial ruin and a stunning string of crimes that
made Hornsby a nationally-hunted fugitive.
My book
provides a new glimpse into life at Northwestern at the school's
infancy and describes its first football team in detail. It is a must
for any fan of Northwestern and NU history. Click here to learn more about the book. You can order it directly from Amazon.
"...It will always be my school, our school."
--Gary Barnett, as quoted by Teddy Greenstein
