| Dec 19, 2011 at 16:21 | comment | added | Django Reinhardt | Ok, a little Googling has revealed that quote to be from "The Pit: A Story of Chicago" by Frank Norris. Google Books has this dated as 1798, which is clearly a misunderstanding by the person who digitized it. It was apparently actually first published in 1902. So very early 20th century indeed! | |
