From the early inspiration of
equestrian John Bill Ricketts and the zany antics of
cannonball-juggling clown Dan Rice to the spectacular feats of the
Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus and the poetic
theatricality of Cirque du Soleil, no institution has captured the
hearts and imaginations of the American public like the circus. The
sights, sounds and smells of the American circus are re-created in
this unique and nostalgic encyclopaedia that spans two centuries of
circusdom.
