Cal Stewart (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Cal Stewart (b. 1856 Charlotte County, Virginia, d. December 7, 1919) was a pioneer in vaudeville and early sound recordings. He is best remembered for his comic monologues in which he played "Uncle Josh" Weathersby, a resident of a mythical New England farming town called "Punkin Center." Born in Charlotte County, Virginia in 1856, Stewart spent his early life working in circuses, medicine shows and vaudeville to great acclaim as "Uncle Josh Weathersby from Way Down East." It was on the road that he befriended Mark Twain and later Will Rogers, two men who shared similar wit in comedy.
