Loyal Sons tells the story of Notre Dame's first consensus national championship football team. Ride along as Coach Knute Rockne's squad dazzles opponent and draws record crowds from New York to Chicago and finally at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. The Four Horsemen, the Seven Mules, the Shock Troops...they are a team bound by perseverance, camaraderie and loyalty; their attitude and performance fuel the rapid rise of Notre Dame's fame as the Fighting Irish become a source of intense pride for Catholics from coast to coast. The pivotal game against mighty Army before 60,000 at New York's Polo Grounds resulted in a 13-7 Notre Dame victory and these words from leading sports writer Grantland Rice in the New York Herald Tribune : "Outlined against a blue-gray October sky, the Four Horsemen rode again. In dramatic lore, they are known as Famine, Pestilence, Destruction and Death. These are only aliases. Their real names are Stuhldreher, Miller, Crowley and Layden."
