The Chicago Cubs, founded in 1869, are a charter member of the
National League and the only one of the eight original league clubs
still playing in the city in which the franchise started. At
various times in the 19th century the players were called White
Stockings, Colts and Orphans. They were first referred to as the
Cubs in the March 27, 1902, issue of the Chicago Daily News. Using
newspaper articles, books and archival records, the author
chronicles the team's early planning stages from 1868 to 1902.
Reprinted selections from firsthand accounts provide a colorful
narrative of baseball in America as well as a documentary history
of the Chicago team and its members before they were the Cubs.
