About this ebook

From the first baseball game in the 1870s until the last issue of the Keowee Courier was published on March 27, 2019, the Courier faithfully reported sports events in Oconee County on a weekly basis. This book, the 11th in the "Looking Back - A Journey Through the Pages of the Keowee Courier" series, contains some of the sports highlights over the decades. There are eight sections of the book: (1) Baseball, (2) Track and Field, (3) Town-to-Town Relay Races, (4) Basketball, (5) Football, (6) High School Sports Expand, (7) Various Other Sports, and (8) School Fair and Field Days. The book covers sports from throughout the county until about 1920. After 1920, the coverage is primarily about sports in Walhalla and surrounding areas.

Author

John Ashton Hester

Early in his career as a reporter, photographer, and editor for the Keowee Courier, ASHTON HESTER became fascinated by the volumes containing issues from past years of the paper, which was founded in 1849. He began compiling a weekly column containing news highlights from the corresponding dates 10, 20, 30, 40, etc., years ago. He first titled the column From the Past but eventually changed it to Looking Back, which is also the title of this book and six previous books which highlighted different years and contained different stories.
