Frisbee The Missing Chapter 2026 (Artifacts hub - Abstract and Supporting Artifacts are in plain text below the book)

Abstract: Expanding from the book’s focus on the pivotal year of 1969 and the International Frisbee Tournament at Eagle Harbor, this page includes descriptions and links to primary source materials from the broader mid-to-late 1960s Frisbee culture in the Midwest. These materials include the synergies that developed with the West Coast, major news coverage in 1967 and 1969, the Michigan Governor’s proclamation of a State “Frisbee Day”, the earliest known written rules for organized disc sports (the 1969 Guts Frisbee Original Rules), the earliest known video of competitive disc sports, proof sheets used in early issues of IFA News, and tournament photography from as early as 1966. The book itself is a fun, short story (with many pictures) of the early days of Frisbee disc sports, particularly Guts. It focuses on an event in 1969 that helped gain national attention for Frisbee as a sport. Updated for 2026, this edition features a foreword that includes a signed historical endorsement by Stancil Johnson (written in 2011) and provides additional context. When read alongside the supporting artifacts, the story offers a deeper understanding of the culture and growth of flying disc sports
