Book Description
The Civil War is finally over, and the survivors have returned to their lives to try to rebuild. There was very little time for rest and relaxation. Nothing can be truer for the people of the small country town of Mystic. However, something has come to Mystic with the survivors...a game called Base Ball. For many years the people of Mystic have indulged themselves in various kinds of stick-and-ball games...everything from cricket to rounders, to something called Muffin Ball, but none of the games were ever popular enough to become organized...until Base Ball. As the residents of Mystic struggle establish their own Base Ball club, they discover that Base Ball is taking over the nation by storm. With a faithful group of town leaders, a retired Judge, and several veterans, Mystic finds that it is ahead of the storm, instead of getting caught up in it. As the town team forms, and a simple league with other small towns is established, the Mystic town folk enjoy watching their very own team playing this "city game" their way...making mistakes, fumbling over the bases, and arguing with...everyone, the people of Mystic become a true base ball town. Then when captain of the Drummers contacts the Mystic team with a request to come to Mystic to play a fun exhibition game on the Fourth of July, the initial thought was one of reservation...the Drummers were a traveling team of colored players. to the people of Mystic, a town that sided with the Northern Union forces, the prospect of playing a colored "barnstorming" team was cause to celebrate a game that changed the town of Mystic forever.

Pages : 145
Book Description
The whole moon hangs Above the westward highway And suddenly I see The swoop of yin and yang Aglow ... From the end of one century to the beginning of another, Margaret Netherby has lived a life full of adventure, joy, heartache, and disappointment.

Largely self-taught, Netherby offers free verse and haiku poems--some based on her studies of Nichiren Buddhism--that shine a light on a variety of emotions including love, grief, desire, and happiness as well as the endless beauty of nature, unconditional love of family, and comfort associated with Mystic Law. Some of My Seasons is a collection of poems that reflects one women's journey through life as she learns, loves, and comes to understand her special purpose.

Forgotten Tales of Colorado
Author: Stephanie Waters

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 139
Book Description
Wild characters, diverse cultures, spooky myths and slippery sales schemes color Colorado's past. In a place where shameless showdowns and dusty shootouts over money, drink and women were once standard procedure, storytelling around campfires became an integral part of a rich heritage. From the jackalope and vampires to Indian curses and snake oil salesmen, the Centennial State has it all. Weirder still are the strange but true stories like that of the first body buried in La Junta's Fairview Cemetery, a man who landed there for refusing alcohol to a kid, and that of the hotel in Telluride that once offered a promotion that included funeral costs with your stay. While history may have neglected these silly, seedy and salacious stories, author Stephanie Waters has rediscovered Colorado's best forgotten tales.
