Cricket in America achieved its greatest acclaim, most extensive organization and highest level of competition in Philadelphia in the mid-19th century. The city took upon itself the burden of representing the entire U.S. during the sport's emerging international popularity. It was a story of amazing successes, abysmal failures and engaging personalities—like John B. King, revered to this day as one of the all-time greatest players—and eventual decline and demise. This meticulously researched history examines the origin, rise and demise of America's cricket legacy.
