Default Books on the PCL/Minor Leagues

I am trying to learn about the PCL and the players around the years of the Obaks (1909-1911). I have purchased two books about minor league history in general, The Minor League Register and the second edition of the Encyclopedia of Minor League Baseball. Specifically to the PCL, I also bought The Grand Minor League by Dick Dobbins. In flipping through it, I can see it deals predominantly with the 1940s and 1950s. This used to be the era I cared about more than any other, but now I am trying to double down on the Obak years and earlier. I see several books about the PCL for sale on Amazon. Do you guys know of a book on the PCL dealing specifically about 1900-1915? If I can't find a book with this info, there's always Google I suppose.

Edit to add: Baseball-reference.com is an amazing resource, and it also links to player bios from the SABR BioProject. There is a wealth of knowledge on many of these players and provides an understanding of how they came to play in the PCL.
