Edwin Booth; recollections by his daughter Edwina Booth Grossmann and letters to her and to his friends by Edwin Booth
A measure of the stature of Edwin Booth as a 19th-century theatre star is the number of tribute books about him published after his death. This one by his daughter is one of the earliest and best. Although carefully selected from a voluminous correspondence, and heavily edited, the letters show the human side of a great actor.
