  • Classroom Guide for LOUIS SOCKALEXIS Native American Baseball Pioneer Written by Bill Wise Illustrated by Bill Farnsworth
    Lee & Low Books Paul Robeson Teacher’s Guide p.1 Classroom Guide for LOUIS SOCKALEXIS Native American Baseball Pioneer written by Bill Wise illustrated by Bill Farnsworth Reading Level *Reading Level: Grade 3 Interest Level: Grades 1-6 Guided Reading Level: Q Lexile™ Measure: AD920 *Reading level based on the Spache Readability Formula Themes Sports (Baseball), Trailblazers, Prejudice, Courage, Dignity, Native American Interest National Standards SOCIAL STUDIES: Culture; Time, Continuity, and Change; Individual Development and Identity; Individuals, Groups, and Institutions LANGUAGE ARTS: Understanding the Human Experience; Multicultural Understanding; Reading for Perspective In 1884, Louis Sockalexis, a twelve-year-old Penobscot Indian, fell in love with baseball. The boy lived on a reservation in Maine where his father was a tribal leader. As he grew up, Sockalexis honed his skills and dreamed of joining a major league team. He became a star athlete in high school and college. Even so, he faced opposition from his father who wanted him to focus on tribal life and from spectators who jeered at “the Indian playing a white man’s game.” In 1897, Sockalexis was offered a contract with the major league Cleveland Spiders. Despite this accomplishment, he was lonely away from home and subjected to ugly racism from baseball fans across the country. Then, on June 16, 1897, Sockalexis faced off against a celebrated pitcher for the New York Giants at the Polo Grounds in New York City. Ignoring the heckling crowd and the pitcher who had promised to strike him out, Sockalexis hit a home run to the far reaches of the ballpark.

  • Mines, Mills and Malls: Regional Development in the Steel Valley
    MINES, MILLS AND MALLS: REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE STEEL VALLEY by Allen J Dieterich-Ward A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in The University of Michigan 2006 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Matthew D Lassiter, Chair Professor J Mills Thornton III Associate Professor Matthew J Countryman Assistant Professor Scott D Campbell In memory of Kenneth Ward and James Lowry Witherow. In honor of Helen Ward and Dolores Witherow. ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank the History Department and the Horace H. Rackham Graduate School at the University of Michigan for generous financial support while researching and writing this dissertation. I began work on this project as part of my Senior Independent Study at the College of Wooster, which was supported in part by the Henry J. Copeland Fund. The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission’s Scholar-in-Residence program greatly facilitated my research at the Pennsylvania State Archives. During the final year of writing, I also received a timely and deeply appreciated fellowship from the Phi Alpha Theta History Honors Society. I owe a great debt to the many Steel Valley residents who generously agreed to be interviewed for this project, especially Don Myers, James Weaver, and Charles Steele. Being allowed entry into their present lives and their past memories was a wonderful gift and I have tried to explain their actions and those of their contemporaries in a balanced and meaningful way. The staff of the Ohio Historical Society, Pennsylvania State Archives, Archives of Industrial Society, Historical Society of Western Pennsylvania and the Bethany College Library provided generous assistance during my visits.
