OF
P.T. BARNUM
A FIRST HAND ACCOUNT OF THE FOUNDING OF THE BARNUM AND BAILEY CIRCUS
Original 1871 Edition of “Struggles and Triumphs: or, Forty Years Recollections of P.T. Barnum” by P.T. Barnum :: Published by American News Company New York :: Measures 5 x 8" :: Complete with 856 Pages.
VERY GOOD CONDITION: A tightly bound volume, firm hinges, generally clean internally, cover wear as shown, complete with all pages; overall a great copy.
PRESENTED HERE is the original author\'s edition of the Life of Notorious 19th Century Showman, P.T. Barnum. This absorbing book comprises the history of Barnum\'s boyhood, youth, vicissitudes of early years, Herculean struggles, brilliant enterprises, astonishing successes, disastrous losses, Napoleonic triumphs, his reception by Kings, Queens, Emperors and Nobility everywhere, his genius, wit, generosity, eloquence, Christianity and so much more.
Barnum\'s autobiography is filled with the excitement that he was able to generate all his life with his ventures. Barnum made his audiences thrill to the performances he shared with them. Phineas T. Barnum wore many hats, so to speak, in his lifetime: Barnum the Author, Debunker, Politician and Reformer; however, he is best known as the American showman who entertained hoaxes and founded the circus that eventually became "Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus“ also known as “The Greatest Show on Earth.“
This book contains 880 fascinating pages including the many ventures he tried, and the most interesting people he encountered (GRIZZLY ADAMS, TOM THUMB, JENNY LIND & MORE). Barnum believed in publicity, therefore, an autobiography was one of Barnum\'s more successful methods of self-promotion. The autobiography was so popular that some people made a point of acquiring and reading each edition. Some collectors were known to boast they had a copy of every edition in their library.
