Text | “Lieutenant Charles P. Klein documented an engagement between officers on January 10, 1863: ‘Saturday afternoon is allotted the men for necessary washing and cleansing, at which time the commissioned officers of the regiment indulge in a game of base ball on the parade ground.’ The score was 32-14 ‘up to the fifth innings, other duty then interfering.’” Allison Barash, “Base Ball in the Civil War, National Pastime, January 2001, pp 18. Barash gives no citation for this item. A Lieut. Charles P. Klein, of Rochester NY, served in the 140th NY regiment, and died at Gettysburg in July 1863. Note: Can we locate this source? |
