The Daily Dispatch: June 8, 1861., [Electronic resource], article 11 (search)
An official negro minstrel. --Lieut. Pendergrass, of the Seventy-first Regiment of New York, who with twenty-two of his men worked one of the guns of the Anacosta, on the occasion of the recent attack upon Aquia Creek, is a member of Bryant's band of negro minstrels. He is also the proprietor of a New York "rum mill" and gambling hell — the headquarters of John C. Heenan, the Benicia Boy, and the bristle-headed fraternity of fighters generally. He is a little man with a very large voice, a pock marked face, and never more in his element than under a nigger wig, and a physiognomy of burnt cork, dangling away his part in a minstrel performance, upon a triangle.--Such is the "elite" of the New York Seventy-first.
