First Sunday School in America Noted in Buffalo Letter
A Buffalo letter recalls the earliest Sunday school in the United States, begun around 1800 in what is now Pittsburgh. It describes a diverse, rough-edged class including unlettered youths and a man with a bruised nose, with no color distinction and continued by Steel’s congregation, inspiring later church led Sunday schools.

Humorous Fragments and Wordplay From a Colonial Page
A mosaic of gibes and punning lines sketches mismatched arithmetic and social foibles. Snippets reference a horse throwing dice, a sixeared boat race, a cobbler drinking a cobbler, railways as aristocratic, and jokes about cows and locomotives plus ads for nostrums and dental products.
