William Still: The Underground Railroad and the Angel at Philadelphia is the first major biography of the free Black abolitionist William Still, who coordinated the Eastern Line of the Underground Railroad and was a pillar of the Railroad as a whole. Based in Philadelphia, Still built a reputation as a courageous leader, writer, philanthropist, and guide for fugitive enslaved people. This monumental work details Still's life story beginning with his parents' escape from bondage in the early nineteenth century and continuing through his youth and adulthood as one of the nation's most important Underground Railroad agents and, later, as an early civil rights pioneer. Still worked personally with Harriet Tubman, assisted the family of John Brown, helped Brown's associates escape from Harper's Ferry after their famous raid, and was a rival to Frederick Douglass among nationally prominent African American abolitionists. Still's life story is told in the broader context of the anti-slavery movement, Philadelphia Quaker and free black history, and the generational conflict that occurred between Still and a younger group of free black activists led by Octavius Catto.   Unique to this book is an accessible and detailed database of the 995 fugitives Still helped escape from the South to the North and Canada between 1853 and 1861. The database contains twenty different fields—including name, age, gender, skin color, date of escape, place of origin, mode of transportation, and literacy—and serves as a valuable aid for scholars by offering the opportunity to find new information, and therefore a new perspective, on runaway enslaved people who escaped on the Eastern Line of the Underground Railroad. Based on Still's own writings and a multivariate statistical analysis of the database of the runaways he assisted on their escape to freedom, the book challenges previously accepted interpretations of the Underground Railroad. The audience for William Still  is a diverse one, including scholars and general readers interested in the history of the anti-slavery movement and the operation of the Underground Railroad, as well as genealogists tracing African American ancestors.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49740472123665,"sku":"NGR9780268200367","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50170012139793,"sku":"CIN026820036XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51000593449233,"sku":"NIN9780268200367","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52355161686289,"sku":"NLS9780268200367","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/026820036X.jpg?v=1761386355"},{"product_id":"just-over-the-line-book-william-c-kashatus-9780929706177","title":"Just Over the Line","description":"\u003cp\u003eLocated just over the Mason-Dixon line dividing free and slave states, Chester County was an important and dangerous junction on the Underground Railroad's Eastern Line. Predominantly populated by the Religious Society of Friends, or Quakers, the county saw much debate and conflict brought about by the terrible risk involved in this radical and subversive activity. While traditionally Quakers have been believed to be very cooperative in the enterprise of conducting runaways in their flight to freedom, the analysis offered here by William C. Kashatus shows that it was not that simple. For many Friends, the conflict between the law and their convictions was a difficult one, and the passing of the Fugitive Slave Law in 1850 only added to their dilemma. This made Chester County a highly dangerous and yet geographically necessary stop on the journey north.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePrevious histories of the Underground Railroad in the area have focused on this myth of unified opposition to slavery by the Quakers, but they have also committed another disservice. They ignored the actions and bravery of the African Americans who not only used the passages for their own escape but also facilitated the escape of others. This new history of Chester County's link in the Railroad attempts to correct that omission. Rather than propagate the history that the abolitionists themselves constructed, making themselves the heroes of the story, Kashatus digs deeper to find a more balanced view of this rich and fascinating history. This book is being published in conjunction with a new exhibit at the Chester County Historical Society that focuses on the Underground Railroad in Chester County.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49976024924433,"sku":"CIN092970617XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53514425663761,"sku":"NIN9780929706177","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/092970617X.jpg?v=1751202800"},{"product_id":"money-pitcher-book-william-c-kashatus-9780271028620","title":"Money Pitcher","description":"Charles Albert Bender was one of baseball’s most talented pitchers. By the end of his major league career in 1925, he had accrued 212 wins and more than 1,700 strikeouts, and in 1953, he became the first American Indian elected to baseball’s Hall of Fame. But as a high-profile Chippewa Indian in a bigoted society, Bender knew firsthand the trauma of racism. In Money Pitcher: Chief Bender and the Tragedy of Indian Assimilation, William C. Kashatus offers the first biography of this compelling and complex figure.  Bender’s career in baseball began on the sandlots of Pennsylvania’s Carlisle Indian Industrial School, where he distinguished himself as a hard-throwing pitcher. Soon, in 1903, Philadelphia Athletics manager Connie Mack signed Bender to his pitching staff, where he was a mainstay for more than a decade. Mack regarded Bender as his “money pitcher”—the hurler he relied on whenever he needed a critical victory. But with success came suffering. Spectators jeered Bender on the field and taunted him with war whoops. Newspapers ridiculed him in their sports pages. His own teammates derisively referred to him as “Chief,” and Mack paid him less than half the salary of other star pitchers.   This constant disrespect became a major factor in one of the most controversial episodes in the history of baseball: the alleged corruption of the 1914 World Series. Despite being heavily favored going into the Series against the Boston Braves, the A’s lost four straight games. Kashatus offers compelling evidence that Bender intentionally compromised his performance in the Series as retribution for the poor treatment he suffered.  Money Pitcher is not just another baseball book. It is a book about social justice and Native Americans’ tragic pursuit of the white American Dream at the expense of their own identity. Having arrived in the major leagues only thirteen years after the Wounded Knee Massacre of 1890, Bender experienced the disastrous effects of governmental assimilation policies designed to quash indigenous Indian culture. Yet his remarkable athleticism and dignified behavior disproved popular notions of Native American inferiority and opened the door to the majors for more than 120 Indians who played baseball during the first half of the twentieth century.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50337873920273,"sku":"CIN0271028629VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53090188787985,"sku":"CIN0271028629G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0271028629.jpg?v=1750877086"},{"product_id":"william-still-book-william-c-kashatus-9780268200398","title":"William Still","description":"The first full-length biography of William Still, one of the most important leaders of the Underground Railroad.

Up by 6 1\/2 games with just 12 left to play in the 1964 season, they appeared to have clinched their first pennant in more than a decade. Outfielder Johnny Callison narrowly missed being the National League MVP. Third baseman Richie Allen was Rookie of the Year. But the \"Fightin’ Phils\" didn’t make it to the postseason—they lost 10 straight and finished a game behind the St. Louis Cardinals. Besides engineering the greatest collapse of any team in major league baseball history, the ’64 Phillies had another, more important distinction: they were Philadelphia’s first truly integrated baseball team. In September Swoon William Kashatus tells the dramatic story—both on the field and off the field—of the Phillies’ bittersweet season of 1964.  More than any other team in Philadelphia’s sports history, the ’64 Phillies saddled the city with a reputation for being a \"loser.\" Even when victory seemed assured, Philadelphia found a way to lose. Unfortunately, the collapse, dubbed the \"September swoon,\" was the beginning of a self-destructive skid in both team play and racial integration, for the very things that made the players unique threatened to tear the team apart. An antagonistic press and contentious fans blamed Richie Allen, the Phillies’ first black superstar, for the team’s losing ways, accusing him of dividing the team along racial lines. Allen manipulated the resulting controversy in the hopes that he would be traded, but in the process he managed to further fray already tenuous race relations.  Based on personal interviews, player biographies, and newspaper accounts, September Swoon brings to life a season and a team that got so many Philadelphians, both black and white, to care deeply and passionately about the game at a turbulent period in the city’s—and our nation’s—history. The hometown fans reveled in their triumphs and cried in their defeat, because they saw in them a reflection of themselves. The ’64 Phillies not only won over the loyalties of a racially divided city, but gave Philadelphians a reason to dream—of a pennant, of a contender, and of a City of Brotherly Love.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50347621253393,"sku":"CIN0271027428A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51694794244369,"sku":"CIN0271027428G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0271027428.jpg?v=1751389863"},{"product_id":"connie-mack-s-29-triumph-book-william-c-kashatus-9780786421657","title":"Connie Mack's '29 Triumph","description":"It has been said that Connie Mack managed only two kinds of teams during his half-century in the City of Brother Love--unbeatable and lousy. His teams collected nine pennants and five World Series titles, balanced by 17 last place finishes. While Mack, an enterprising businessman, had a gift for discovering talented players and molding them into a team, by the time he was well into his sixties, Philadelphians suspected that the A's skipper had lost his ability. Mack went on to disprove all doubts, however, with a second championship dynasty in 1929 that vindicated the \"Tall Tactician.\"     This work chronicles the rise and fall of the 1929 Philadelphia Athletics and their six-year rivalry with the New York Yankees, 1927 to 1932. Based primarily on newspaper accounts, the book tells the story of the \"Grand Old Man of Baseball\"--and the 1929 A's team that is unfairly overlooked in favor of the 1927 Yankees as baseball's greatest all-around team.

From 1973 to 1989 he led the Phillies to five National League championship series and two World Series. Twelve times an All-Star, Schmidt was perhaps baseball's premier power hitter during the 1970s and 1980s. His 548 home runs are seventh best all-time. In the field he was just as exceptional, winning ten Gold Gloves, more than any other third baseman besides Brooks Robinson. A three-time N.L.

This book is the first serious account of Schmidt's celebrated career with the Philadelphia Phillies. Concentrating on contemporary newspaper accounts, periodicals, baseball histories and biographies by Schmidt's teammates, this long-overdue work is the full story of one of the game's greatest sluggers, and one of its true heroes and role models.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50365475127569,"sku":"CIN0786407131G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51121674682641,"sku":"CIN0786407131VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52541751886097,"sku":"NLS9780786407132","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0786407131.jpg?v=1750817719"},{"product_id":"suicide-squeeze-book-william-c-kashatus-9781439914380","title":"Suicide Squeeze","description":"Appearance- and performance-enhancing drugs-specifically, anabolic steroids (APEDs)-provide a tempting competitive advantage for amateur baseball players. But this shortcut can exact a fatal cost on talented athletes. In his urgent book Suicide Squeeze, William Kashatus chronicles the experiences of Taylor Hooton and Rob Garibaldi, two promising high school baseball players who abused APEDs in the hopes of attracting professional scouts and Division I recruiters. However, as a result of their steroid abuse, they ended up taking their own lives.  In Suicide Squeeze-named for the high-risk play in baseball to steal home-Kashatus identifies the symptoms and dangers of steroid use among teens. Using archival research and interviews with the Hooton and Garibaldi families, he explores the lives and deaths of these two troubled young men, the impact of their suicides on MLB, and the ongoing fight against adolescent APED use by their parents.  A passionate appeal to prevent additional senseless deaths by athletes, Suicide Squeeze is an important contribution to debates on youth and sports and on public policy.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50382587822353,"sku":"CIN1439914389G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1439914389.jpg?v=1763480612"},{"product_id":"before-chappaquiddick-book-william-c-kashatus-9781640122697","title":"Before Chappaquiddick","description":"Before Chappaquiddick is the biography of Mary Jo Kopechne, a twenty-eight-year-old secretary who worked for Robert F.

Written in cooperation with George Pollack, the lawyer for the Gehrig estate, this biography provides a valuable addition to the study of an enduring American sports legend.

Macho Row vividly re-creates their rowdy, memorable season, warts and all.—Paul Hagen, former baseball writer for the Philadelphia Daily News  Colorful, shaggy, and unkempt, misfits and outlaws, the 1993 Phillies played hard and partied hard. Led by Darren Daulton, John Kruk, Lenny Dykstra, and Mitch Williams, it was a team the fans loved and continue to love today. Focusing on six key members of the team, Macho Row follows the remarkable season with an up-close look at the players’ lives, the team’s triumphs and failures, and what made this group so unique and so successful.                With a throwback mentality, the team adhered to baseball’s Code. Designed to preserve the moral fabric of the game, the Code’s unwritten rules formed the bedrock of this diehard team whose players paid homage and respect to the game at all times. Trusting one another and avoiding ideas of superstardom, they consistently rubbed the opposition the wrong way and didn’t care. William C.

But the two men were divided by a rivalry going far beyond the personality differences and petty jealousies of competitive teammates. Behind the bitterness were deep and differing beliefs about the fight for civil rights.     Robinson, the more aggressive and intense of the two, thought Jim Crow should be attacked head-on; Campanella, more passive and easygoing, believed that ability, not militancy, was the key to racial equality. Drawing on interviews with former players such as Monte Irvin, Hank Aaron, Carl Erskine, and Don Zimmer, Jackie and Campy offers a closer look at these two players and their place in a historical movement torn between active defiance and passive resistance.

Focusing on six key members of the team, Macho Row follows the remarkable season with an up-close look at the players’ lives, the team’s triumphs and failures, and what made this group so unique and so successful.                With a throwback mentality, the team adhered to baseball’s Code. Designed to preserve the moral fabric of the game, the Code’s unwritten rules formed the bedrock of this diehard team whose players paid homage and respect to the game at all times. Trusting one another and avoiding ideas of superstardom, they consistently rubbed the opposition the wrong way and didn’t care. William C. Kashatus pulls back the covers on this old-school band of brothers, depicting the highs and lows and their brash style while also digging into the suspected steroid use of players on the team. Macho Row is a story of winning and losing, success and failure, and the emotional highs and lows that accompany them.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51030322675985,"sku":"NIN9781496214089","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51421537370385,"sku":"CIN1496214080G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1496214080.jpg?v=1761390425"},{"product_id":"philadelphia-athletics-book-william-c-kashatus-9781531607418","title":"Philadelphia Athletics","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51034126745873,"sku":"NIN9781531607418","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52593473552657,"sku":"NLS9781531607418","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1531607411.jpg?v=1751212940"},{"product_id":"blue-eyed-soul-brother-book-william-c-kashatus-9781496240422","title":"Blue-Eyed Soul Brother","description":"Blue-Eyed Soul Brother tells the life story of NFL All-Pro free safety Bill Bradley, who was known on the gridiron as much for his fierce competitiveness as he was for his whimsical nonconformity off it. Bradley was among the first NFL players to hold out for a bigger salary and challenge the status quo with his long hair, bushy mustache, and free-spirited lifestyle.   Beginning in high school, Bradley stood up for the civil rights of his Black teammates and was instrumental in breaking down the color barrier in Texas high school football. A highly recruited scholastic quarterback, Bradley played for the University of Texas Longhorns for three seasons. Unable to run the Wishbone offense, Bradley was demoted and switched to defensive back, where he reinvented himself as a ball hawk. After being drafted by the lowly Philadelphia Eagles, he became a triple threat who punted, returned, and played free safety and was the first player to lead the NFL in interceptions in consecutive seasons.   After a thirty-year coaching career in the World Football, Canadian Football, and National Football Leagues, Bradley retired to his native Texas. There, he and his wife, Susan, cared for their son, Matt, a talented college quarterback who became a paraplegic after a savage assault by a drunk college student. Matt made a heroic eleven-year effort to regain the use of his voice and motor skills before he died in 2020. Today, Bradley is engaged in another struggle, this one with memory loss and other cognitive impairments caused by the many concussions he suffered during his nine-year playing career in the NFL. But he is determined to live his life to the fullest.  Blue-Eyed Soul Brother is the inspirational story of a man whose contagious enthusiasm for life raised the spirits of those around him in both good and bad times—a story about the resilience of the human spirit in the face of personal tragedy, and a story to remember when life doesn’t appear to be going your way.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51386831110417,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51386832322833,"sku":"NIN9781496240422","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1496240421.jpg?v=1763472393"},{"product_id":"almost-a-dynasty-book-william-c-kashatus-9780812240368","title":"Almost a Dynasty","description":"Being a Phillies fan has never been easy.

Flood was among the last of the oldtime movers and shakers on Capitol Hill. Known for his wardrobe of white linen suits, dark shirts, white ties, silk top hats, and dark, flowing capes, as a vaudevillian who became a Democratic congressman from Pennsylvania, Flood was a flamboyant sight on the floor of the House. He presented his addresses and arguments with the overly precise and clipped accent of an old-fashioned stage actor, and he reveled in the attention he attracted for each and every performance. At the same time, 'Dapper Dan' understood the complexities of the old power politics and played the legislative game with sheer genius. He worked his will by employing the common practices that greased the wheels of the political process in the post - World War II era: persuasion, manipulation, arm-twisting, and grandiloquent oratory rarely matched by his congressional colleagues. Between 1945 and 1980, Flood used his clout as a senior member of the House Appropriations Committee to wield near veto power over the $300 billion federal budget. Flood was instrumental in funding the Cold War as well as the 'Great Society' social reforms of the 1960s. A consummate pork-barrel politician, the mustachioed congressman channeled billions of dollars into a northeast Pennsylvania district suffering from a declining anthracite coal industry. As a result, the well-educated scion of the middle class was accepted by his blue-collar constituents as 'one of their own' and elected to the U.S. House of Representatives for sixteen terms. Accused of improprieties in arranging federal contracts, Flood became the subject of sweeping investigations by the U.S. Attorney General and the House Ethics Committee. A federal court case resulted in a mistrial in February 1979. Stripped of his congressional power, ravaged by illness, and facing a second bribery trial, Flood resigned from Congress on January 31, 1980. Based on recently declassified FBI documents, court records, public papers, and contemporary newspaper accounts, as well as more than thirty interviews of Flood's widow, congressional colleagues, and Capitol Hill staff, \"\"Dapper Dan Flood\"\" explodes the myths surrounding Pennsylvania's controversial - and colorful - congressman. It is a story of power, accomplishment, and, ultimately, failure and humiliation.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51422844354833,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51422846976273,"sku":"CIN0271036184G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53603895935249,"sku":"NGR9780271036182","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0271036184.jpg?v=1751356057"},{"product_id":"past-present-and-personal-book-william-c-kashatus-9780325004495","title":"Past, Present and Personal","description":"\u003cp\u003e William Kashatus knows from years of teaching history that history education can be much improved by teaching the craft of writing.

Dubbed the One-Amed Wonder by sportswriters, Gray was a controversial figure from the moment he stepped on a major league diamond. Club owners saw him as a gate attraction for war-weary baseball fans; some of his teammates openly questioned his ability and felt that he cost them a chance to capture a second consecutive pennant. Gray was left to wonder just how good a ballplayer he really was. Though some may have doubted Gray's ability, no one questioned the cantankerous outfielder's desire to reach the major leagues. From the coalfields of northeastern Pennsylvania, Pete Gray fought his way through the minor leagues with single-minded determination. Despite his missing arm, he was the most valuable player of the minor league's Southern Association in 1944. His on-field exploits and relentless fire became an inspiration to the many servicemen who returned from the battlefields of World War I with missing limbs.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52403267666193,"sku":"NLS9780786400942","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52962053259537,"sku":"GOR011286633","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53339193704721,"sku":"CIN0786400943VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53339903295761,"sku":"CIN0786400943G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780786400942.jpg?v=1758760340"},{"product_id":"spitballer-book-william-c-kashatus-9781496246981","title":"Spitballer","description":"Spitballer is the biography of one of baseball's greatest pitchers. Stan Coveleski was a quiet, modest man, the youngest and most successful of five ball-playing Polish American brothers who worked in the coal mines near their hometown of Shamokin, Pennsylvania. Hoping to escape the mines' low wages and dangerous working conditions, Coveleski turned to professional baseball. He learned the spitball pitch during a three-year stint in the Minor Leagues after making his Major League debut with the Philadelphia Athletics in 1912.  Coveleski won three games in a single World Series using the now-illegal pitch he altered with saliva to fool opposing hitters. The 1920 season was Coveleski's best in the Majors; that year, he posted an impressive 24-14 record and led the American League with 133 strikeouts. \"Covey,\" as he was affectionately known, was even better in the World Series against the Brooklyn Dodgers, when he hurled three game victories, posting a sparkling 0.67 ERA.  But 1920 was also a season of tragedy for both Coveleski and the Indians. On May 28 Covey received the devastating news that his wife of seven years, Mary Shivetts, had died. Then, on August 6, as Coveleski was vying for his nineteenth victory of the season against the New York Yankees, Cleveland shortstop Ray Chapman was hit in the head by a pitch thrown by the Yankees' Carl Mays and died twelve hours later. Nevertheless, Covey and the Indians persevered to capture the American League pennant and win their first-ever World Series title.  Based on contemporary newspaper accounts and five major interviews Coveleski gave, Spitballer tells Covey's inspirational story in the context of his time and the rise and decline of the spitball, a tricky and sometimes dangerous pitch to control and one that had an enormous impact on early twentieth-century baseball.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53005807714577,"sku":"NGR9781496246981","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53344969425169,"sku":"NIN9781496246981","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781496246981.jpg?v=1773138951"},{"product_id":"independence-national-historical-park-book-william-c-kashatus-9780764372261","title":"Independence National Historical Park","description":"An in-depth examination of the major historical events that occurred atIndependence Hall, Carpenters' Hall, Congress Hall, and Franklin Court, among other park sites, as well as the founding fathers who shaped thoseevents.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e An ideal companion for those who desire more than thebrief overviews presented in tourists' guidebooks.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Lavishly illustratedwith prints from the INHP collections, the book is based on primarysource documents, including\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e - Journals of Congress;\u003cbr\u003e - Records of thePennsylvania Assembly;\u003cbr\u003e - contemporaneous newspaper accounts;\u003cbr\u003e - the diariesand papers of such founding fathers as Benjamin Franklin, GeorgeWashington, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson; and\u003cbr\u003e - more-recentscholarship on early American history.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e What distinguishes the book fromother similar works is that it's an insider's account of the historythat took place in INHP, written by a former park ranger and nowvolunteer who holds a doctorate in early American history and taught thesubject for 35 years at the prep school, undergraduate, andgraduate levels.  ","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53148272689425,"sku":"NGR9780764372261","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780764372261.jpg?v=1771764225"},{"product_id":"conflict-and-conviction-book-william-c-kashatus-9780819178831","title":"Conflict and Conviction","description":"Addresses the popular misconception that all Quakers, historically, have been absolutely against war and participation in civil government during a time of war.
