Carroll Johnson (c. 1851–1917) was a minstrel performer in the United States.[1][2][3][4][5][6] In 1892, he was touted as the merry Irish minstrel for his performance of The Gossoon by E. E. Kidder at Naylor's Opera House in Terre Haute.[7] Between 1892 and 1894, he was the principal actor (as Osmonde O'Sullivan) in the play "The Irish Statesman", written by (John) Fitzgerald Murphy.[8][9][10] He appears in blackface on the cover of the sheet music for "Ma Angeline".[11] His performances popularized the song "Parson Johnson's Chicken Brigade".[12] Sheet music for Carroll Johnson's Songs was published.[13]
