Abstract
Still regarded by many as little more than vagrants, most actors in nineteenth-century America had no sense of economic security; many were continually on the edge of abject poverty, others victims of excessive drink. These difficulties produced countless emotionally charged confrontations between actors and managers all over the nation, much like the one between William Duffy and John Hamilton in Albany, New York.
