Review: New York Herald, 24 August 1865, 4.

“The hall of the San Francisco Minstrels continues to be represented nightly by a large portion of the metropolitan population.  The attractions are a good company, excellent singing and plenty of fun.  In the minstrel line there is no better place to spend an evening than with the San Francisco Minstrels.  Birch, Backus and Wambold are a full company in themselves.”

“They have made a big strike, have got the public started, and there seems to be no such word as stop, for they continue to crowd the hall every night.”
