[edit]Parking stuff here for future later use:
- Dec 4, 1872 ad - did H.E. Hoyt really do scenery?[1]
- Late Dec 1872 - Memphis after New Orleans [2] (col 1 ad); [3] (col 3).
- 5/30/1873 NY Herald, col 5 ad for Crockett at Woods starting June 2, 1873 [4]; 6/2/1873 NY Herald col 5 ad for debut [5]; 6/3/1873 NY Herald col 3 mention of debut [6]; June 5 1873 DC paper says Mayo's rifle was given to him by Custer, taken from an Indian, col 6 [7]; 6/14/1874 NY Herald col 5 - ad for last performances that day [8]
- Many sources confuse when the play was first performed. Certainly we can confirm performances in 1872. But some sources, e.g, [9] claim it was first performed in Rochester in 1873, which is wrong but must have been the understanding for some time.
- 1917 show which performed part of the play (among other old plays) [10]
