About the Book

The greatest showman on Earth in his own words is great! Required reading for all entrepreneurs, relive the remarkable true-life adventure of the world's best-known circus promoter and entertainment mastermind.

A story that's as relevant today as it was in the 19th century, P.T. Barnum's wild tale of rags to riches success is vain, egotistical, self-serving, and thoroughly entertaining. This printing is refreshed for modern audiences with enlarged pages, remastered images, new cover design and the original classic retro font.

P.T. Barnum originally released his raucous autobiography in 1869 and again in 1884 with updated "recollections" as he puts them. Few people have ever lived a career more crowded with incident, enterprise, and self-promoted success than the world's foremost circus promoter who brought us the Barnum and Baileys Circus, among other attractions.

Barnum's business acumen launched such projects as the American Museum, Tom Thumb, Jenny Lind, and other famous curiosities. He served as a mayor and a successful politician but also endured his share of failures and disappointments. This re-telling of his life is filled with spectacular periods engravings to aid in storytelling enlarged for viewing pleasure.
