Sports
This guide to the available literature on sports in American culture during the last two decades of the 20th century is a companion to Jack Higg's Sports: A Reference Guide (Greenwood, 1982). The types of individual or team sports included in this volume include those that are viewed as physical contests engaged in for physical, emotional, spiritual, or psychological fulfillment. With a focus on books alone, chapters review the available literature regarding sports and each concludes with a bibliography. Academic journals likely to contain articles on the topics discussed are listed at the end of each chapter. Twelve chapters discuss sports and American history, business and law, education, ethnicity and race, gender, literature, philosophy and religion, popular culture, psychology, science and technology, sociology and world history. This reference and guide to further research will appeal to scholars of popular culture and sports. An index and two appendixes are included, one listing important dates in American sports from 1980 through 2000 and one listing sports halls of fame, museums, periodicals, and websites.

David Rominger (1716-1777) was the fifth child of Hans Jerg Rominger and Elisabeth Odelin, born in Winterlingen in the Balinger district of Wurttemberg, Germany. David married in 1741, and he and his wife immigrated in 1742 from Germany to Boston, Massachusetts, accompanied by his brother, Phillip Rominger (1721-1762). David and Phillip both served in the 1745 expedition that captured Louisburg Fort in Nova Scotia, and in 1769 they joined the migration to Surry County, North Carolina. Descendants and relatives lived in New England, North Carolina, Ohio, Indiana and elsewhere. In the 1880s, some related Romingers immigrated from Germany to Woodland, California and elsewhere.
