About this book
In the early 20th century, American youth were captivated by the burgeoning popularity of baseball, a sport that symbolized both competition and camaraderie. "Catcher Craig" by Christy Mathewson captures this spirit through the journey of Sam Craig, a determined seventeen-year-old captain of his high school baseball team. As he strives to secure a spot at "The Wigwam," a boys' summer camp, themes of sportsmanship and personal growth emerge. This novel not only highlights the significance of teamwork and ambition but also reflects the cultural landscape of an era where baseball was more than a game—it was a rite of passage. Ideal for students and civic activists alike, "Catcher Craig" offers a rich exploration of youth and aspiration in a transformative period.
