| Text | The Oneida (NY) Sachem, June 18, 1859, commenting on a base ball game in Peterboro, writes that "Peterboro thirty--even fifty--years ago, was celebrated for its Base Ball playing, and wonderful stories are recounted, in which the names of Rice and Wilburs, and others, shine with an enduring fame! And yet we think the Peterboro of today will eclipse the splendor of that behind-the-age celebrity." |
