Grace, Grit and Growling: The Hartford Dark Blues Base Ball Club, 1874-1877

4.9/5 (28411 ratings)

Description:Grace, Grit and Growling was the culmination of four years of exhaustive research following the release of Middletown's Season in the Sun, which detailed the only season of Connecticut's first major league club, the Middletown Mansfields. The story of the Dark Blues seemed to be the next logical pursuit for me after writing the history of the Middletown Mansfields. I imagined myself as the modern-day Ben Douglas, Jr., the Mansfields founder, who after the Mansfields went bankrupt, sought the larger market of Hartford and organized the Dark Blues two years later. With the recent emphasis on Hartford's revival and reconnection to its rich 19th century heritage, this was a fun to write and the book offers a wonderful historical trip back in time to the days of Mark Twain, Morgan Bulkeley and the Samuel Colt family, when baseball was young and Hartford played a major role in its development.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
