- Title
"The Inauguration of This Noble and Manly Game Among Us".
- Authors
Allardice, Bruce
- Abstract
With all the new information uncovered about the growth of baseball prior to the establishment of the National Association in 1871, comparatively little attention has been paid to the spread of the game in the Southern United States. Using newspaper articles and army records, the author presents the early history of Southern baseball, a history that in most respects parallels the more publicized growth of baseball in the North. Southern baseball, the author contends, should not be viewed as a footnote to Northern baseball, mentionable only when Northern teams played there, but rather as a regional adoption of the game, as important as the baseball played during this era in the Midwest or West.
