When sisters Charlotte and Katie Manye found out they were going to England in 1891, they were overjoyed — "leaping and whirling ... in a dance of triumph" Katie Manye said of their journey.
"To England!" she recounts Charlotte shouting again, locking her arms in Katie's as they both "leapt upwards on one last burst of energy before falling exhausted to the floor."

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel they sang like angels when they came in 1891. And started touring at a grueling pace. They were unfamiliar with the power structure in many places. A book was written and a dance company followed
