Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The earliest history of baseball in black America surfaces not just in the pages of the mainstream newspapers if the day--it also survives in black religious publications. A supplement to the three volumes of Black Baseball, 1858-1900, this book elaborates on the exploration of blackball's complex origins with six essays covering National Emblems, Representation, and Blackball, 1866-1871; The Black Championship, Reconstruction, and Its Aftermath, 1855-1899; The Lost World of Albany (NY)'s Young Bachelor Base Ball Club, 1866-1877; Blackball, Black Women and Resorts of Pleasure, 1866-1891; The Henson (Lone Star) Base Ball Club, 1858-1892; and Blackball in Chattanooga (TN), 1876-1900. Rosters, umpire lists and team profiles provide new material. Appendices give a chronology of state, regional and national championship games.
