Welcome to my website for Baseball before We Knew It. On these pages I hope to gather information and images that may be helpful for those who have not yet read the book, as well as for those who have. To begin with, I am uploading the book's table of contents and the book jacket copy. I am also posting a selection of illustrations showing early baseball and related games. A number of these scenes appear in the book, but there are also additional ones that did not make the cut. Since I was unable to include color illustrations in the book, those that appeared originally in color will look a lot better here.

Some readers of the book have written or sent me some very supportive comments, and I am sharing a selection of these. I am also on the lookout for book reviews in newspapers and magazines, and will post them here as they appear.

I also hope to make this site a means of communicating with readers. Please send me your observations of the book, or any questions you may have, to info@baseballbeforeweknewit.com. I will do my best to respond in a timely manner.

Thanks to all, and I hope you enjoy the site.
