Summary

"Our Frontier Pastime: 1804-1815 is offbeat historical fiction as 'truthfully' told in 1908 by ninety-six-year-old L.C. Crouch, who wants the world to know that Captain Benjamin Batman Bunt, not Abner Doubleday or Alexander Cartwright, was the inventor of baseball. It is Crouch's contention that BBB, with an assist from Nez Perces and other western American Indians as well as a spirited great horned owl, became the "Father of Baseball" while traveling with the groundbreaking Lewis and Clark Expedition in a highly unofficial capacity--babysitting "the Babe" for Sacagawea, the secret love of BBB's life, and, as it turns out, a pretty fair country ballplayer" --, Provided by publisher
