Fort Madison Iowa Prison Base ball Team
Posted this before but,
Here is a hand tinted magic lantern slide of the BIG FOUR baseball team of the Iowa State Penitentiary near Fort Madison. This may be the only image known of the Big Four club? There are a few known Fort Madison Prison baseball photos, but they are in-action shots taken from a long distance. I do think I remember seeing the same Block wall in the back ground of those photos.... I have done some research and can find references to the "Big Four Team" in the Iowa State Reformatory Press 1907-1910. That is how I am dating this magic lantern slide. I believe the Reformatory Press was mostly written by the prisoners.
