The Life of P. T. Barnum, Written by Himself by Phineas T Barnum
An autobiography of Phineas T Barnum that immortalizes the showman who hoodwinked customers into paying to hear the reminiscences of a woman presented as George Washington's 161-year-old nurse, the impresario who brought Jenny Lind to America and toured Europe with General Tom Thumb, and the grand entrepreneur of the American Museum of New York.
P. T. Barnum (1810-1891) was one of the larger-than-life personalities who strode through nineteenth-century America, founder of the touring American circus and a true example of the self-made (and self-promoted) celebrity.
