A season-by-season guide to outdoor play, beginning in spring with marbles and their games, whip tops and peg tops, kite-making and stilts, then moving on to fishing and bait, boating and canoeing, ball games and their rules, and winter sports. Opening with Lincoln’s words about boys and men, it argues that honest play makes better men.
A delightful record of how American boys played a century ago, with games still worth trying. Download the free EPUB.
