Possible first reference to women playing base ball
The 1861 edition (first american), of Titcombs, Lessons on Life, contains an essay entitled the Rights of Women. Titcomb argues women should be able to do a number of the things men do, including play base ball. As the father of a daughter who played shortstop in college, I especially liked his comment about throwing.
If anyone knows of any other direct references to actual baseball in an American book, I would love to hear about it. Photos are of the title page and relevant part of the essay.
