Dick Merriwell'S Heroic Players; Or, How The Yale Nine Won The Championship

By Burt L. Standish

Book Overview

A rousing volley of courage and camaraderie, Dick Merriwell's Heroic Players streaks from the page with the pulse of old-time fields and new-time appeal. This is a ballad of grit, wit, and teamwork that will both move and inspire. Set in a world where boys dream big, the story-rooted in late nineteenth-century college athletics-celebrates sport as a proving ground for character. It offers a compact, fast-paced adventure of games played, plans forged, and perseverance under pressure, where the power of a united team proves stronger than any single star. For readers of sports fiction and juvenile adventure alike, the tale provides a clear model of courage, loyalty, and strategy, all told with crisp, modern energy that still honours its historical roots. Historically significant as a window into early American sport and boys' literature, the work has long been cherished by antique book collectors and library editions alike. This edition is more than a reprint; it is a restored artefact, carefully prepared for today's readers and for future generations of classic-literature lovers. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this volume is a collector's item and a cultural treasure. It invites casual readers to savour a vivid, illustrated edition and invites collectors to add a complete, enduring work to a distinguished library. A genuine celebration of underdog triumph, team spirit, and enduring appeal in sports fiction.
