A History of the New York Stage from the First Performance in 1732 to 1901
by Thomas Allston Brown
1903
These recollections of New York theatre life from the 1830s-1850s are selected from "Reminiscences of a Man About Town," a series of articles by Col. Tom Picton published in the New York Clipper between 1868-69. The impressions of the time are made vividly real from the actual experiences of the writer, who often mingled with the performers and directors. Complete with notes, index, and contemporaneous illustrations.
