Anson is a historical account published in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around the personal experiences and reminiscences of Anson, who was a prominent figure in the early days of professional baseball, specifically as a player and manager of the Chicago Base Ball Club. The book provides insight into not only his life and career but also the broader context of baseball's evolution during its formative years.  The opening of the book introduces Anson’s birthplace and ancestry, detailing his early life in Marshalltown, Iowa, where he was the first white child born in the area. The narrative captures his youthful antics, the influence of his father, and the relationships he had with local Native Americans, particularly the Pottawattamie tribe. It paints a vivid picture of the challenges he faced in his formative years, such as the death of his mother and his inclination towards mischief, while also expressing a deepening passion for sports, especially baseball. Through these reflections, Anson sets the stage for recounting his journey in baseball, starting from his childhood experiences to his eventual rise in the competitive world of the sport.
