Description
Theodore Stern's ethnological monograph details the various rubber-ball games from South America, Central America, Mexico, and the southwestern United States, with discussion of equipment, game play, and folklore. Many games are known from ancient times (with play depicted in sculptures and other art), while other variations have been described by travelers up through recent times. This is a fascinating look at the American precursors to modern sport.
