The American Cricketer was the publication of record for the club and cricket in the United States for more than half a century. The slim magazine was first published in Philadelphia in 1877 and continued to be printed until 1929, a total of 52 years.[1] It was published weekly during the summer cricketing season and monthly in winter. George Newhall, of the Newhall cricketing family of Philadelphia, was one of its editors.
