Young America Cricket Club information


The Young America Cricket Club (YACC) was founded on 19 November 1855 at the house of William Wister after the Germantown Cricket Club team refused to allow young players to gain cricket experience through match participation. Owen Wister, the nephew of William, wrote what is considered the first true Western novel ever written, The Virginian, the prototype for the first movie Western which came out as a silent movie in 1914 and has been filmed many times since that time.
