I'll sit this one out, since I'm pretty sure I'm the one who did the documenting. Unless it turns out to be somebody else, of course.

It was you. That book was on my want list years for years. Thanks for sending me a copy.

What's interesting is Carl M. Becker cites you but I don't recall him mentioning the 1,000 yard season. That came as a big surprise to me. Becker's book is still available on Amazon.

Let's see if anyone wants to guess.
