Naismith wanted to continue his military career as America entered World War I in April 1917. He considered applying for an active duty commission as a U.S. Army chaplain, but there were two things working against him: he was 55 years old in 1917, and he was not an American citizen.
James Naismith (who had no middle name but later adopted the initial A) was born on November 6, 1861, in Almonte, Ontario, Canada. His parents, John and. Margaret (Young) Naismith, were Scottish immigrants who died in a typhoid epidemic when Naismith was nine years old, leaving him an orphan. He was raised by his strict, religious grandmother and later by a bachelor uncle. Naismith enjoyed hunting, the outdoors, and sports.
