Review: New-York Times, 11 February 1863, 8.
“[A] band of music, consisting of eight pieces, congregated in front of the Metropolitan Hotel, and played ‘The Land of the Brave and the Home of the Free.’ About five hundred people were soon collected, and shortly afterward the Lilliputian pair appeared upon the balcony, to the great delight of the crowd below. When the music had ceased, Gen. Thumb bowed his acknowledgments to the assemblage and said ‘Good night all.’”
