Miners, loggers, railroad men, and others flooded into the American
West after the discovery of gold in 1848, and entertainers seeking
to fill the demand for distraction from the workers' daily toil
soon followed. Actors, actresses and traveling troupes crisscrossed
the American frontier, performing in tents, saloons, fancy
theaters, and the open air. This exploration of the heyday of
popular theater in the Old West chronicles its emergence and growth
from 1850 to the early twentieth century. Here is the story of the
men and women who provided myriad types of entertainment in the Old
West, and brought excitement, laughter and tears to generations of
pioneers.
