Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fiction presents an exciting sea story circling the Bahama Bill, a sailor and a mate of Sea-Horse by the coral roadway in Key-west. Penned by American sea novelist Thornton Jenkins Hains, this work contains all the fascinating elements of nautical fiction focusing on the human relationship to the sea, sea voyages, and the bizarre creatures of the sea. The dominant themes of masculinity prevail throughout the novel. Hains was a frequent contributor to the 1920s pulp magazine Sea Stories, under his name and his pseudonym under Garnett. Excerpt from Bahama Bill, Mate of the Wrecking Sloop Sea-Horse: "The day was well advanced when the spars of the brig showed above the sea. The sky was cloudless, and the little air there was stirring scarcely rippled the ocean; the swell rolling with that long, undulating sweep and peculiar slowness which characterizes calm weather in the Gulf Stream."

Download or read book Christy Mathewson written by Michael Hartley and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2004-01-30 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathewson, one of the towering figures in baseball history, won 373 games in 17 seasons, all but one of those victories for the New York Giants. After his playing career, he was a manager, army officer and baseball executive, played a role in the unraveling of the Black Sox, and fought a courageous battle against tuberculosis. A man with a keen sense of honor and responsibility for both private and public obligations, he was adored by the public as a real-life Frank Merriwell. In the decades since his death, the perception of Mathewson has changed remarkably little. This biography documents in great depth his life on and off the baseball field, and draws from sources, old and new, to let Mathewson's life speak for itself. Not many sports figures can withstand such scrutiny.
