Review: New York Clipper, 13 January 1872, 326.

“The revival of ‘Shoo Fly,’ with its original impersonators, Dan Bryant and Dave Reed, has created quite a sensation at Bryant’s Minstrels, where it was received during the week just closed with a degree of enthusiasm something akin to that which created it upon its first production.”
