Text | The New York Morning Herald, Sept. 10, 1839 reports on the 4th annual gathering of the Highland Society in Hoboken, featuring outdoor Scottish games. "Shinty was played exceedingly well." Goes on to explain that Shinty is what the Irish call Hurling. For more on Shinty in the U.S., see the Lancaster (PA) Daily Evening Express, Feb. 2, 1860 and the Boston Evening Transcript, Oct. 26, 1857. A Hurling Club was formed in Buffalo, NY in 1860. See the Buffalo Courier, June 11, 1860. |
