A small 1" crease to top front corner of cover and, to a lesser extent, correspondingly on text pages, elsewise a bright, clean, tight copy sans other flaws. "By 1859 Cricket was being played in at least 22 states, in over 125 cities and towns, and the numbers of clubs were estimated to be around 1000, per "Wilke's Spirit of the Times". An American topped the English bowling averages; Cricket clearly 'was' America's game. What happened then, to turn the tide in Baseball's favor? America's capital Philadelphia, hosted teams from Australia, Canada, England, Ireland, and the West Indies. While early cricket evolved significantly in England, 'Wicket' its' precursor, continued to be played with the original technique for more than 300 years in Connecticut. Wherever the English went cricket followed, we find this in the early history of Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Mexico, Peru and Uruguay! The book showcases never-before seen pictures including art works and selected team scores depicting American cricket's glorious but unsung history." PROFUSELY ILLUSTRATED in vintage black-and-white cricket team, individuals, and cricket-related photography and drawings with accompanying descriptive captions. 286 pages. LH2.…
