cordage, flint-napping, essential pottery and basketry, primitive
and modern trapping and fishing techniques, plus wild food cooking.

Cy Young was one of the hardest-throwing pitchers of all time. He
recorded three no-hitters--including a perfect game--and
accumulated more than 2,800 strikeouts on his way to the National
Baseball Hall of Fame. Scott H. Longert uses Young's life story to
introduce middle-grade readers to the game, explaining balls,
strikes, and outs in an easy-to-understand way. Longert narrates
each season and each milestone game with an enthusiastic
play-by-play that is sure to draw readers into the excitement on
the field and in the crowd, fostering a better understanding of and
a passion for baseball. Baseball fans today know Cy Young's name
chiefly through the award given in his honor each year to the best
pitcher in the National and the American Leagues. Denton True
"Cyclone" Young won more than five hundred games over a career that
spanned four decades, a record that no other major league pitcher
has come close to matching. In addition to being the winningest
pitcher in baseball history, he was also a kind, self-effacing, and
generous man. Born into a farm family in rural Ohio, he never lost
touch with the small-town values he grew up with.
