Synopsis

Ron gawthorp is a semi-retired author who now lives in the alleghany highlands of virginia. A veteran writer of some renown in community newspapers early in his life, he has * to writing after working in the oilfi elds. His fi rst novel, richer than the rockefellers, reflected life in the oil fields of illinois, his native state. Glimpses of glory is his fi rst published non-fi ction work. In it he has tediously reconstructed the forgotten career of a professional baseballer from the roaring twenties through the depression. "baseball was a lot different when it started than it is today. These men were the pioneers of the sport. I think it important to remember how they lived", the author says. "they worked hard, played hard and gave the game the grit it needed to survive. I especially hope young readers will take note of the way grew".
