"The Magic of America," a typescript of over 1,400 pages with approximately 650 accompanying illustrations, was written and compiled by Marion Mahony Griffin (1871-1961), architect, designer, delineator, and artist.

"The Magic of America: Electronic Edition" is a project of the Ryerson and Burnham Libraries of The Art Institute of Chicago. The Digital Text is based on the two copies (AIC1, AIC2) of "The Magic of America" (MoA) at the Art Institute. Any missing or additional text was transcribed from the New-York Historical Society's copy (N-YHS) of MoA. Illustrations have been scanned from N-YHS and sequenced within the text according to that copy.

Basketball -- History

"Kid Holman," "Mr. Basketball," "Old Drill Master," and "the Old Professor"—are just a few of the many titles given to basketball's earliest superstar, Nat Holman. From humble beginnings on the Lower East Side to the pinnacle of college basketball—winning both the NCAA and NIT tournaments in 1950 as head coach at City College—Holman's eight-decade career as a player, coach, and author helped to establish basketball as a popular spectator sport in the first half of the 20th century.

Nat Holman: The Man, His Legacy and CCNY presents the scope of Holman's accomplishments as an athlete, coach, and ambassador of the game of basketball to the world.
