Over the years, my friend Linda and I have nostalgically recalled a series of books we both read in elementary school. They were biographies aimed at kids, but that’s all we could remember. We both wondered why we never saw them in used bookstores, or libraries, or met other people who fondly recalled them?

These books came up again on Sunday, and I did a Google search and discovered they were books published by Bobbs-Merrill starting in the 1930s. The series was called Childhood of Famous Americans. Linda and I remembered them being blue, but in my search, I found many people remember them as the “orange books.”

Well, this site solved that mystery, claiming there were 220 in the series, and showed photos of how they looked different over the decades. Some of them were orange and others were blue. They also had uniform dust jackets with numbers. Those numbers appealed to me. They made me want to read them all. However, I doubt I read more than 10-12 of them. Linda claims to have read far more, but then she was a much bigger bookworm in elementary school than I was. Linda and I both remember the yellow decoration about the blue book below.

Evidently, this series was intended to provide patriotic reading for young reader

A reading of these "lost memoirs" of Yankees great Lou Gehrig, compiled from a series of dispatches to the Oakland Tribunein 1927, reveals the man the world came to know: self-effacing and without a negative word for anyone. But there remains the question: Did Gehrig write the columns? This arises because Christy Walsh, the agent he shared with teammate Babe Ruth, headed a syndicate that included such luminaries as Damon Runyon and future baseball commissioner Ford Frick. Their duties included ghostwriting articles credited to their clients, often with little or no input from them, designed to burnish the athletes' reputations. Independent historian Gaff (Bayonets in the Wilderness) barely addresses this issue either in his introduction or lengthy biographical essay, writing only that Lou "would write his account himself," and mentioning that Frick helped him during the 1927 World Series so Gehrig could focus on baseball. After that, there is no mention of authenticity of authorship.

VERDICT This memoir highlights baseball and its players from a golden age, and would have been more emotionally and historically appealing had Gaff offered more about the subject's provenance.
