Vaudeville Susie’s Riot; or, Old Oregon’s Helen of Troy
The Rebel sympathizers resented the Union soldiers taking all the seats when Vaudeville star Susie Robinson of Corvallis took the stage. The soldiers wouldn't back down. Then somebody pulled a pistol ... and the battle was on. (Corvallis, Benton County; 1860s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/1603d.vaudeville-susie-riot.384.html)
