Harold Peterson (1) (1939–)

The man was definitely a character but this book doesn't do him justice. I got bored rather quickly with the story and especially the author,

Being a life of Alexander Cartwright, founder of the Knickerbocker Ball Club and baseball's first codifier. This is a fine story well-told; the only slight drawback being that a life of Cartwright strictly defined would be a very thin book and the author necessarily takes off cross-country quite a bit.

Fun to read and informative, but hardly authoritative given its lack of documentation.

Mentions a Lippincott in the narrative
