The history of the Boys' Clubs of America is the story of a handful of dedicated people organizing clubs for boys in the low-income areas of America's towns and cities. Their aim was to give the boys a place to play, a place to learn, a place away from the streets, a place where they would have a chance to become good citizens while having a good time. This book is the author's story of the tremendous growth of the Boys' Club movement, from a single club in Hartford, CT, in 1860 to a nationwide organization with over half a million boys in more than 550 clubs in 300 cities. Illustrated with black and white photographs. Description text copyright 2006 BooksForComfort. Item ID 11426.
