Review: New York Clipper, 09 December 1871, 286.

“The San Francisco Minstrels attracted a fair average attendance during the past week, appearing in a pleasing and varied programme, among the conspicuous features of which may be mentioned the comicalities of those twin sons of Momus, Birch and Backus; the silvery tenor voice of that prince of minstrel vocalists, D. S. Wambold; the dignified utterances of Bernard, the interlocutor, and the pleasing songs and dances of Bobby Newcomb.”
