Artifact Overview

Henry Chadwick was a sports journalist and leading promoter of early baseball. He regularly wrote about baseball and helped develop standard rules for the game. Chadwick's 1867 reference helped teach the game to interested audiences and set rules for teams to follow. The twenty-four clubs who competed in the 1867 World's Tournament of Base Ball, held in Detroit, used it as the official rulebook.
