Meet the greatest entertainer of the 19th Century...

In 1834, desperate to create a better life for his family, small-time Connecticut businessman P. T. Barnum moved to New York City.

A master showman, his crowning achievement was the world-famous circus, Barnum & Bailey's Greatest Show on Earth.

In this account of his life and work, written by the man himself and first published in 1855, P. T. Barnum creates an aura of excitement about himself and his enduring fame, confirming his reputation as the greatest impresario of all time and revealing the controversial decisions that helped him to his fortune.
