During the Civil War, Americans from homefront to battlefront played baseball as never before. This work gives us a commentary of the growth and transformation of baseball. It shows that the game was a vital part of the lives of many a soldier and civilian - and that baseball's popularity had everything to do with surging American nationalism.
