San Francisco Theatre Research, Volume 1, offers a glimpse into the vibrant theatrical scene of 19th-century San Francisco. This volume, edited by Lawrence Estavan, features monographs on two significant figures: Stephen C. Massett, a singer, writer, and showman, and Joseph A. Rowe, a pioneer circus manager.
Explore the lives and careers of these influential personalities who shaped the entertainment landscape of early San Francisco. Discover Massett's contributions as a performer and writer, and delve into Rowe's pioneering efforts in circus management. This meticulously researched work provides valuable insights into the cultural history of San Francisco and the evolution of American entertainment.
