DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Though is name is forever linked with the many stately Gothic villas he designed, Alexander Jackson Davis was not content to align himself with just one style of architecture. From classicism to Italianate to what he dubbed the Rustic-Cottage style, Davis's designs were suitable to all Americans, from the working class to the idle rich. Long before the concept would become mainstream, Davis operated as the first mail-order architect. Here, in this short-form book, is his seldom-told story.

Did baseball even have a father--or did it just evolve from other bat-and-ball games? John Thorn, baseball's preeminent historian, examines the creation story of the game and finds it all to be a gigantic lie. From its earliest days baseball was a vehicle for gambling, a proxy form of class warfare. Thorn traces the rise of the New York version of the game over other variations popular in Massachusetts and Philadelphia. He shows how the sport's increasing popularity in the early decades of the nineteenth century mirrored the migration of young men from farms and small towns to cities, especially New York. Full of heroes, scoundrels, and dupes, this book tells the story of nineteenth-century America, a land of opportunity and limitation, of glory and greed--all present in the wondrous alloy that is our nation and its pastime.--From publisher description.
