In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the U.S. Coast Guard served as the Alaskan 911. Known then as simply the Revenue Cutter Service, it was comprised of skilled navigators, judges and law enforcement specialists tasked with preventing the frontier from descending into anarchy, and securing its status as a "cash cow" for the mainland states. This is the history of the early U.S. Coast Guard, with special focus on its former whalers-turned-cutters, the Bear and the Northland, and their voyages along the coast of Alaska, Hawaii and Greenland. Following the two vessels through history, chapters detail the diverse responsibilities that the "Coasties" had to face at the time, including capturing seal poachers and pirates, delivering babies, pulling natives' teeth and even engaging in combat with a German warship.

There is something about "Take me out to the ball game" that has lured people to baseball games as a way to create history and memories. It is no surprise, then, that family and cultural ties have been part of baseball at the professional level for eons. That has led to some interesting combinations on and off the diamond.
Fathers and sons, brothers, in-laws, cousins, uncles and nephews...these are some of the "brother" combinations that have played major league baseball or been involved in some capacity since the first league was formed. Some have played together, others generations apart. Some enjoyed long Hall of Fame careers, others made one appearance.
Regardless of what teams they played for or when they played they have created interesting moments, set numerous records, and left unique memories. Their stories, some heartwarming, some bizarre, all intriguing, are the essence of this book.
Brothers in Baseball is a classic collection of anecdotes that bring to life forgotten side notes of the game that has united so many people across the world. It is as interesting as the history of baseball itself.
