Naismith submitted by tbbrown76 on August 13, 2016, 10:21am He invented the game. Interesting story. Women play, too!

Interesting Story submitted by sushai on June 28, 2017, 7:11pm Great biography about how Naismith was inspired to invent the game. It emphasizes learning from failure. Good for middle-elementary kids. Nice illustrations, too.
