Abstract:

When members of the New York Knickerbockers baseball team marched off to fight in the Civil War, they took the game and rules with them and played during their time in camps. James Constantine, a divinity student at Duke University, now serves as chaplain of the 26th Regiment of North Carolina Troops Reactivated. He wants to develop a vintage baseball team that will play the game as Civil War soldiers played it.
