T. King wrote to the Mills Commission in 1905. "Just a word in regard to the old game of Massachusetts Run-around. We always pronounced the name as if it were run-round without the "a," but I presume, technically that should be incorporated.
"This was the old time game which I played between 44 and 50 years ago [1855-1861 – LM.], and which I heard my father speak of as playing 35 to 40 years before that, carrying it back to the vicinity of 1830."
