Step up to the plate and separate fact from fiction in baseball’s origins! Did Abner Doubleday really create America’s favorite pastime, or does this story strike out? Learn all you can about baseball’s beginnings with infographics, primary sources, and expertly leveled text.
"The Fact vs. Fiction in U.S. History series looks at frequently repeated but dubious information about our nation’s past. Each volume considers one topic, reviewing the origins of questionable stories, the elements challenged by historical records, and their pathways into the history books. Concise, engaging, and logical, the writing shows that primary sources might support one part of a story while discrediting others. . . . While separating fact from fiction, this enjoyable series encourages clear thinking when examining the origins of historical information." - Booklist

These titles are solid choices for school and public libraries." - School Library Journal
