The Eagles of Heart Mountain

Discover the untold story of a high school football team in a World War II internment camp in Wyoming. The Eagles of Heart Mountain explores the resilience and hope of Japanese Americans forced from their homes and lives, subjected to racism, cruelty, and freezing winters behind barbed wire fences. But in the midst of adversity, the Eagles football team emerged as a symbol of hope, uniting their community and achieving an undefeated season, despite facing opposition from predominantly white schools. Bradford Pearson's impeccably researched and deeply moving book pays tribute to the resilience of these unlikely heroes and the power of sports to elevate and inspire.
