The Immortal Ten

Copeland's work is a vivid account of a tragedy that left an indelible mark on an institution. He recounts how the pain and hurt of this unforgettable moment gave way to hope and healing that created a special bond among the Baylor Family that survives to this day. In this excellent work Copeland shows how the men who died in the accident have become immortal keepers of the Baylor spirit and how the survivors didn’t let this tragedy become the defining moment of their lives.
