Being a genial, quick look at the good Red Sox teams of the ragtime era and the milieu in which they operated. The author is little concerned with game narratives; they appear only when the team makes the World Series, and are often very short even then. He also usually presents them in the singular format of describing how one team, usually the loser, scored its runs, and then how the other team scored. His main focus, though, is on biographical vignettes of various important team players and management, an approach which I generally like, though it must be said that he often introduces them at inopportune times (like in the seventh inning of a World Series Game 7 he's describing).

Third updated edition. 380 pp. Index, bibliography, appendices, update sections concerning recent DNA testing. The author draws on her more than thirty-year study of these legendary mountaineers. She brings her recognized skills as a professional genealogist, as well as formal training in criminal investigation and legal research, to the hunt for Melungeon origins. The result is a fascinating and highly readable book which is also a scholarly examination of the Melungeon mystery. The author debunks many widely held but unsubstantiated beliefs about Melungeons. She dismisses trendy specualtion about Old World Melungeon origins, preferring to deal with facts rather than fantasy and comes to her own carefully considered conclusion. Along the way, this work guides the reader out of a labyrinth of false leads created in earlier Melungeon works. This study is a treasure trove of genealogical information and fully indexed with an extensive bibliography. It is a must for those researching Melungeons and their related family lines. The updates in this edition discuss DNA testing and what to expect when used in Melungeon studies. It is an invaluable resource for the professional and family genealogist, historian, ethnologist, and folklorist. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
