This "1492 Up to Date or Very Near It" book is the full script (with stage notes) of a very loved, unique, musical- comedy Broadway hit show presented from 1892 to 1895. The show was sometimes just called "1492". It starred Theresa Vaughn. My previous book: "Theresa Vaughn and the Buckbee banjo" gives a very good perspective on Theresa Vaughn and her 19th century. Please visit: http: //TheresaVaughn.com for more information and listen there to several songs that Theresa often performed. The website is frequently updated. Currently some silver plated 1880 Buckbee banjo replicas are being fabricated. Theresa accompanied her wonderful contralto voice with the Buckbee banjo. Images and availability information will ---hopefully be posted there soon. After months of searching an original "1492" show script was recently discovered at the "Tams-Witmark Wisconsin collection, Mills Music Library, University of Wisconsin-Madison". Its sixty pages were digitalized and published into this book. All is here and un-edited. Some notes are hand written, possibly by Theresa. I believe this book is a real gem Len
