Comments on: History | Were Paterson FC the first stateside association football club? http://www.theglobalgame.com/blog/2008/04/history-were-paterson-fc-the-first-stateside-association-football-club/ Soccer as a second language Wed, 17 Mar 2010 18:15:10 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Tom McGrath http://www.theglobalgame.com/blog/2008/04/history-were-paterson-fc-the-first-stateside-association-football-club/comment-page-1/#comment-91345 Tom McGrath Tue, 23 Feb 2010 17:10:35 +0000 http://www.theglobalgame.com/blog/?p=437#comment-91345 I have been researching the Oneida Football Club of Boston and have found some of their original documents. The boys saw their original game carried across the Charles River to Harvard from Boston Common and meshed their rules with McGill's Rugby play. Gridiron football did not develop from soccer according to their records. I visited the Oneida "round ball" yesterday ... he does get lonely. I am publishing a photocopy collection of the documents in May 2010 for researchers. I have been researching the Oneida Football Club of Boston and have found some of their original documents.

Williams was a marvelous poet and writer, and I was waiting to see if you'd bring in his epic poem <em>Paterson</em>. What an interesting story, and what a great picture of 19th-century New Jersey!
