Buckskin, Bloomers, and Me

In this captivating tale set in 1906, a 16-year-old boy escapes the murderous intentions of his stepmother and a local judge by disguising himself as a girl and joining a barnstorming baseball team, the Kansas City National Bloomer Girls. With the guidance of veteran player Buckskin Compton, he navigates not only the challenges of impersonation but also budding romance, athletic struggles, and the chaos of the Western frontier. Combining elements of baseball and adventure, Johnny D. Boggs delivers a humorous and thrilling narrative that highlights strong characters and the spirit of a transformative era in American history.
