What was it like when the circus would come to town? This book gives us a ringside seat!

Before the days of TV, DVDs, and video games, there was the circus. When it came to town, businesses and schools would shut down. Folks would gather round, for there, right in front of their eyes, was drama, action, and intrigue. There was the grace of the bareback rider, the daring of the acrobat, the strangeness of the snake lady, and the delight of the dancing pigs. Capturing the weird and the wonderful while revealing historical truths-this book give us a ringside seat to Americas circuses.
