John Zinn presented “Baseball During the Civil War Era”
John spoke about early Pennsylvania baseball history, with a special focus on the 1866 season, where a Philadelphia team was one of two championship contenders. Many in the room hope for a repeat this baseball season with the Phillies!
John is a historian with a special interest in the history of baseball. Chairman of the Board of the New Jersey Historical Society, John was the Chair of New Jersey’s Committee on the Sesquicentennial of the Civil War, and is the author of five books.
We also held our usual book raffle, which benefits our preservation efforts.
Winners are pictured here.
