- Abstract
- Jean and Marshall Stearns write: "More than one dancer remembers hearing about a buck-dancing contest held in the old Madison Square Garden around 1910, which King Rastus Brown won. If so, it was the climax of his career, for except among Negro dancers and show folk, Brown is unknown."
