Cooperstown is a non-fiction book written by Louis Clark Jones that explores the history and significance of the small town of Cooperstown, New York. The book delves into the town's founding by William Cooper, the father of James Fenimore Cooper, author of The Last of the Mohicans. It also examines the town's role in the development of baseball, as it is home to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. The book covers the history of baseball in Cooperstown, including the story of Abner Doubleday, who is often credited with inventing the game. It also explores the controversies surrounding the origins of baseball and the role of Cooperstown in shaping the game's mythology. In addition to baseball, Cooperstown also covers the town's other cultural and historical landmarks, such as the Fenimore Art Museum and the Farmers' Museum. The book provides a comprehensive look at the town's past and present, and its significance as a cultural and historical destination. Overall, Cooperstown is a fascinating read for anyone interested in baseball, American history, or small town life. Jones' writing is engaging and informative, and the book is filled with interesting anecdotes and historical details.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
