| Text | In Hanover NH, Henry Smith [later Henry Durant - he thought there were already too many Smiths] was about ten when his mother mistily told him he now had a new cousin, Pauline. "A new cousin. Huh! Was that all? And he hurtled out of the door to engage in a game of ball with [brother] William and the other boys" Florence M. Kingsley, The Life of Henry Fowle Durant: Founder of Wellesley College (The Century Co., New York, 1924), page 28. Per Thomas L. Altherr, "Chucking the Old Apple: Recent Discoveries of Pre-1840 North American Ball Games," Base Ball, Volume 2, number 1 (Spring 2008), page 38. Incomplete access to text of the biography via Google Books search for "'fowle durant.'" Hanover NH is in the middle of nowhere. |
