Pittsburg Named and Noted For Whimsical Plays
Pittsburg is rightly named and described as similar to the Pit while good baseball weather invites play. The memo references Powder River and Chief Joseph, Commodore Vanderbilt’s daughter and her father’s dollars, Anna Boyle as Juliet coming to Booth’s Theatre, Buffalo Bill’s dramatic services, Pinchback in black and tan society, and Licking county’s rioters needing handling.
