Additional Information This book of fiction, based on factual accounts adduced on pp 231-232 and pp 239-240, tells the story of 120 Chinese boys sent to New England in 1872 under the Chinese Educational Mission. They stayed about ten years in Americana families, and many played base ball.

The experience, as well as later Chinese participation in base ball, is treated in Joel S. Franks, "Baseball and Racism's Traveling Eye," in Baldassaro and Johnson, The American Game: Baseball and Ethnicity (Southern Illinois University Press, 2002), page 177 ff (see especially page 182).
