Paperback. Condition: Good. Donald G. Evans, Founding Director, Chicago Literary Hall of Fame: Riveting historical fiction set during a seminal time.A precise and loving re-creation. As 1907 becomes 1908, National Base Ball League President Harry Pulliam suspects that the owner of the New York Giants has hired detectives to spy on him and his lover, Ted Russell, with the goal of blackmailing him. The pressure tests the strength of his relationship and his ability to administer his league duties. Lenore Caylor, Pulliam's new stenographer, falls in love with him and becomes his staunchest champion as he fights to preserve the honor of professional base ball and the National League. Near the end of the season, one of the most bizarre in base ball history, controversial, game-changing calls result in violent protests, riots, and death. The survival of the national pastime hangs in the balance, as do Pulliam's relationships with Ted and Lenore-and, indeed, his own life. Donald G. Evans, Founding Director, Chicago Literary Hall of Fame; author, Good Money After Bad; editor, Cubbie Blues: 100 Years of Waiting Till Next Year: Sullivan pits baseball's noble ambassadors against the greedy and the intolerant. In his hands, baseball's intrigue is not only games won and lost, but also its ability to confront change and overcome hatred. Patrick Creevy, author, Ryan's Woods, Tyrus, and Lake Shore Drive: With the multiplex references that its title suggests, Called Out connects in a human oneness the world of 1908 with that of our own time. And it does so, first page to last, with an ever-intense narrative drive. Jimmy Greenfield, author, 100 Things Cubs Fans Should Know & Do Before they Die: Floyd is a great baseball fan and an even better writer. He constantly finds new ways to write that blend a vast knowledge, endless curiosity and sharp wit.…

Hardcover. Matte color-illustrated boards with the title printed in yellow font down a red spine. The front cover has the title debossed in white lettering. The free and pasted end pages are color illustrated. Pages: (8), 9-184. Profusely illustrated with many full-color images. "Best known for his wire sculptures, Hayward L. Oubre, Jr. (1916-2006), was an important Black American artist and educator, who has until now received little attention from scholars and museums. He created sculptures, paintings, and prints that tested the bounds of each of these mediums. These works share a previously untold history of American modernism rooted in the South. Academically-trained, Oubre worked with an everyday material - wire coat hangers - that led some early critics to associate his sculpture with folk art, despite wire rising to prominence as a material for modernist sculptors in this period. While making his art he also trained a subsequent generation of artists through his teaching, first at Alabama State College (now Alabama State University), from 1949 to 1965, and then at Winston-Salem State University, from 1965 to 1981, both Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Within Oubre's story is a history of Alabama art shaping American art that has never been written."
