“True Heroes of Baseball: The Story of Jackie Robinson and Roberto Clemente” is about two of the most famous and most important players in baseball history.

Martinez, the critically praised author of “The Book of Baseball Literacy” (now in its 3rd edition and available as a Kindle ebook), this short ebook is aimed at young readers who are just learning about baseball history and want to find out about two of its most significant figures. It is also perfect for parents who want to read to their children about players who exemplify what it means to persevere, show courage, and achieve a greater purpose.The two stories are about 2,500 words each and can be read in just one sitting. They are not complete biographies. Rather, they are biographical sketches that provide details about how Robinson and Clemente turned themselves into superstars, led their teams to the heights of victory, and earned the respect of fellow players, fans, and sportswriters everywhere.If you’re interested in learning about these two remarkable men, “True Heroes of Baseball” is the perfect place to start.

Few poets of Western America fill the “organic intellectual” role better than David Lee. His poetry is the real deal when it comes to recording hilariously insightful (and linguistically accurate) observations of rural culture—and America at large—while using a host of astute literary allusions and techniques. Imagine Robert Frost simultaneously channeling Will Rogers and Ezra Pound. Imagine Chaucer with a twang. Bluebonnets, Firewheels, and Brown-Eyed Susans is focused on the women of mid-20th century rural Texas: frontier survivors and the daughters of frontier survivors, indomitable women with tastes that run from Baptist preaching to bourbon-and-branchwater. No element of hypocrisy escapes the poet’s lethal attention. This is an authentic book of the mid 20th century based on actual characters, a paen to women who shaped and molded the poet’s life. It is in many ways a folkloric study of women in hard times: characters, survivors, intellects, harbingers, anonymous influencers. Utah’s first and longest serving Poet Laureate, Lee has received both the Mountains & Plains Booksellers Award in Poetry and the Western States Book Award in Poetry.
