Freddie Steinmark: Faith, Family, Football
''Freddie Steinmark: Faith, Family, Football'' is a 2015 non-fiction biography written by Bower Yousse and Thomas J. Cryan, and is the exploration of University of Texas football player Freddie Joe Steinmark’s brief life. This is the first book written with complete access to the Steinmark family and their archives, by Freddie’s close friend Bower Yousse and colleague Thomas J. Cryan. The book is an insider’s account of Freddie’s life and the challenges he faced. This book takes the reader through Freddie’s world of family, faith, and athletics, his tenure as a patient, and eventually his role as a spokesperson for the American Cancer Society, during which time he inspired President Nixon to promote and sign into law the National Cancer Act of 1971, and begin the US’s “War on Cancer.”〔(【引用サイトリンク】title='My All American' Film Features Heroic Story of Football Legend Freddie Steinmark )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=New Film Honors Local Hero )〕
== Background and Summary ==
Freddie Steinmark was starting safety for the undefeated University of Texas Longhorns in 1969.〔Eldon S. Branda, "(STEINMARK, FREDDIE JOE )," Handbook of Texas Online, accessed November 09, 2015. Uploaded on June 15, 2010. Modified on September 24, 2015. Published by the Texas State Historical Association.〕 In the "Game of the Century" a come-from-behind victory against Arkansas that ensured Texas the national championship, Steinmark played with pain in his left leg. Two days after the game, X-Rays showed a possible tumor, and four days after that, a biopsy and surgery to amputate his leg revealed a cancerous growth so large that is seemed a miracle Steinmark could walk, let alone play football.〔Steinmark, Freddie. ''I Play to Win''. Boston: Little, Brown, 1971. Print.〕
An undersized player, Freddie Steinmark had quickly become a fan favorite at Texas. What he endured during the Longhorn’s memorable 1969 season, and what he encountered afterword, captivated not only Texans but the country at large. Americans watched closely as Steinmark confronted life’s ultimate challenge,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Requiem for an All-American )〕 and his openness during his battle against savage odds helped reframe the national conversation surrounding cancer and the ongoing race for a cure.〔Eldon S.
