The game was played along with quoits and other games of skill and strength. Parties were formed to go on fishing trips and picnics, and during the outing, cricket was one of the games played." Jennie Holliman, &lt;u&gt;American Sports 1785 - 1835&lt;/u&gt; (Porcupine Press, Philadelphia, 1975), page 68.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Holliman here cites &lt;u&gt;The American Farmer, vol. 8, no 143 (1825)&lt;/u&gt;, which John Thorn found online [email of 2/9/2008], and which does not make a strong case for cricket's ubiquity.
