INTRODUCTION
Materials in the Dwight D. Eisenhower Library relating to sports and recreation
constitute a largely untapped resource. This special guide has been prepared to assist
potential researchers in identifying pertinent primary source materials on this subject
area. The guide should not be considered definitive, as the search for pertinent materials
was conducted primarily at the folder title level.
Most of the materials I surveyed fall into two categories—Eisenhower’s personal
involvement in sports and recreation and public policies and programs which affected
sports and recreation on a national level.
Following World War II, increased economic prosperity, population growth, and more
leisure time led to a rapid rise in public use of outdoor recreational facilities. Various
government agencies sought to accommodate the increasing numbers of tourists. Annual
visits to national forests increased from 27 million in 1950 to 122 million by 1963. In
1957, the Forest Service began Operation Outdoors, a five-year program to improve and
expand recreational facilities in national forests. The National Park Service responded to
the challenge with Mission 66, a ten-year program designed to upgrade recreational
facilities in our national parks. The Park Service also undertook some significant surveys
or studies of recreational areas in the U.S. from 1955 to 1960.
Congress passed legislation to encourage the development of recreational facilities. The
Recreation and Public Purposes Act of 1956 (HR 1815I) permitted the sale or lease of
federal lands for recreational purposes.
Professional sports were very popular in the 1950s, and Congress made several efforts to
exempt professional leagues from anti-trust laws. Hearings were held in 1957, 1958, and
1960, and bills to exempt professional baseball, basketball, football, and hockey from
anti-trust legislation were considered but never passed.
Dwight D. Eisenhower was active in sports and athletic competition throughout his life.
As a youth in Kansas, he helped organize the Abilene High School Athletic Association,
and he played varsity football and baseball at Abilene High. Fishing and hunting were
two additional activities he engaged in as a boy.
At West Point Eisenhower became involved in football, baseball, and boxing. In his
sophomore year, he played as a halfback against Carlisle College and their famous
athlete, Jim Thorpe. However, a knee injury during his second year ended his days as a
player. After the injury, he helped coach the junior varsity football team at West Point,
and in later years, he coached Army post football teams.
While attending the Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, he
developed an interest in the sport of golf. Later in life, he became a very serious player.
During the eight years he was President, he played about eight hundred rounds of golf.
He corresponded with professional golfers, such as Arnold Palmer and Bobby Jones,
about his game, and he even had the swing weights of his clubs tested and adjusted on a
number of occasions.
Fishing, hunting, and shooting remained favorite sports of Dwight Eisenhower
throughout his adult life. He joined his brothers on a family fishing and camping trip to
Wisconsin in July and August 1946. During his presidency, he fished in Florida, Rhode
Island, Maine, South Dakota, Georgia, Maryland, and Colorado. Hunting quail near
Thomasville, Georgia and skeet shooting at the presidential retreat, Camp David, were
additional activities, which President Eisenhower enjoyed.
Although we are most familiar with Eisenhower’s outdoor recreational activities, he also
enjoyed table games, such as bridge and poker. During his presidency, he maintained a
keen interest in baseball and football, and he attended a number of games as a spectator.
Occasionally he sent congratulations to major league players who had outstanding games.
During his post-presidential years, Eisenhower continued to be an active sportsman and
an avid fan as long as his health permitted. In 1968, less than fourteen months before his
death, he realized the life-long dream of every golfer. He scored a hole-in-one.
