|a During halftime of the October 30, 1926, football game between Baylor University and the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas, a massive riot erupted between the two student bodies that resulted in the death of Texas A&M senior cadet Charles Sessums. Though various newspaper articles have chronicled this infamous "cold case" over the last ninety years, none has placed the riot in its proper context, nor has any official determination ever identified the person responsible for Sessums's death. T. G. Webb has pored over related historic documents, including contemporary newspaper accounts, records in the library archives of both universities, personal correspondence of the victim's family and the original report of the Pinkerton detective hired by Texas A&M to investigate the incident. In Battle of the Brazos, Webb examines and explains the riot, its origins and its aftermath, untangling many enduring myths that grew up around the event over the years to establish the definitive record. He allows readers to witness the heartbreaking arrival of Cadet Sessums's parents at the Waco train station as they came to receive the body of their deceased son, and he places readers amid the swirl of charges, recriminations and allegations that clouded the atmosphere at both Texas A&M and Baylor. Most significantly, Webb provides previously unpublished indications of a coverup designed to shield the killer's identity from public knowledge. This "historical whodunit" is a must read for sports fans and historians, devotees of "leather-helmet" football, local history buffs and Texas football enthusiasts alike.
