From Fun to Fortune is a riveting historical drama that explores the chaotic rise of professional sports and mass entertainment in late 19th and early 20th century America. Set in the now-vanished Allegheny City, this immersive tale weaves fact and fiction to reveal how visionary athletes, entrepreneurs, and adventurers fueled the Age of Consumerism and gave birth to the modern sports industry.

But this isn’t just a story of success-it’s a saga of greed, corruption, and lavish lifestyles that shook the foundation of society. From Fun to Fortune is both a tribute to the love of the game and a sharp critique of the excesses it created.
Perfect for sports fans, history buffs, and lovers of speculative drama, this book promises to entertain, enlighten, and engage readers with its vibrant characters, gripping narrative, and insightful commentary on the birth of the professional sports we know today. Discover the wild and unpredictable roots of America’s favorite pastimes.
