	ROBERT EMMET - LoveToKnow Article on ROBERT EMMET (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-09)
		Emmet went to Paris in October 1802, where he had an interview with Bonaparte which convinced him that the peace of Amiens would be of short duration and that a French invasion of England might be looked for in August 1803.
		Emmets lack of discretion was shown by his revealing his intentions in detail to an Englishman named Lawrence, resident near Honfleur, with whom he sought shelter when travelling on foot on his way to Ireland.
		Emmet was short and slight in figure; his face was marked by smallpox, and he was described in 1803 for the purpose of identification as being of an ugly, sour countenance and dirty brown complexion.

		anjoist, fiddler, singer, comedian, and author of plays and songs for the minstrel show, Dan Emmet is best known as the composer of the walk-around DIXIE, originally presented by Bryant's Minstrels in 1859 and of the tune later arranged by Aaron Copland, DE BOATMAN DANCE.
		Emmet's career is but one of many in a succession of entertainers and composers who used the minstrel stage as a popular platform.
		Before long minstrel troupes were organized, the earliest of these the Virginia Minstrels (to whom Dan Emmet belonged for a time) and the Christy Minstrels, whose overwhelming success paved the way for hundreds of other companies, among them the Sable Minstrels, the Virginia Harmonists, the Harmoneons, and the Ethiopian Operatic Brothers.

		Also from PBS in the site for Ken Burns’ JAZZ, here is one and from I Hear America Singing, yet another about Daniel Decatur Emmet and the American Minstrel.
		(Emmet was the namesake for Emmett Miller and the man who wrote Dixie, by the way.) More minstrelsy can be found via the University of Virginia with two enormous sites devoted to Harriet Beecher Stowes’ Uncle Tom’s Cabin--and minstrels--and Mark Twain and his Times, with yet more on flface minstrels.
