Baseball During The American Civil War
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Baseball during the American Civil War represented everything that the war did not: It was a way in which soldiers and ranking commanders could return being just men as much as it was critical time spent regaining one's mental and emotional balance amidst overwhelming conflict. Albert Doubleday - a name synonymous with baseball - was a Civil War General who, historians have determined, was not the original founder of America's most popular sporting game. That notwithstanding, Doubleday's involvement in baseball's Civil War presence is what has come to represent the start of a national tradition. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
