"The biography is part of an American Actor Series. It focuses on Cushman's stage career and includes letters, lists of performances and casts, advertisements of Cushman's performances, as well as articles. The Fields [James and Annie] are, for instance, not mentioned. Waters could also draw from Cushman's diary (32). Apparently, Waters herself saw Cushman on stage. Harriet Hosmer and Grace Greenwood are mentioned only once (71). [Matilda] Hays is never mentioned"--Archival Gossip website.
