Book summary

In this lavishly illustrated volume we meet the man who did NOT say "There's a sucker born every minute." Barnum's was a colorful figure: his best friends were clergymen, his autobiography sold more than a million copies, he took a public leap through a flaming hoop to prove to the ASPCA that his performing horses were in no danger, and his abiding influence is still with us in the form America's irrepressible infatuation with show biz. The book includes more than 500 photos, engravings, and color lithographs.
