Administrative history
Hathway & Pond were proprietors and managers of the Redpath Lyceum Bureau (formally the Boston Lyceum Bureau, founded in 1868 by the journalist James Redpath, 1833-1891) in Boston, Massachusetts. Major James Burton Pond (1838-1903) was an independent booking agent. George Henry Hathaway (1843-1931) was a businessman and a booking agent for the Boston Lyceum Bureau. In 1874, they formed the booking firm Hathway & Pond and bought the Boston Lyceum Bureau from James Redpath. It became the Redpath Lyceum Bureau. They specialized in the promotion of lectures, concerts, and tours for Mark Twain, Ellen Terry, P.T. Barnum, Booker T. Washington, Charles Dickens, and many others throughout the U.S. and Canada. In 1897, Pond moved his headquarters to New York City and their partnership dissolved. Both Pond and Hathaway continued their successful careers as booking agents, Hathaway becoming President of the Redpath Lyceum Bureau in 1903.
