This autobiography was pretty dry in places and shows the movie Greatest Showman had very few facts about his life correct, which is par for a movie I guess. The book is filled with page after page of dialogue which he supposedly remembers from his young past to when he wrote the book. He was definitely full of himself and claims the public was either to blame for accepting his many lies or they knew about them and accepted them since they
When you hear the name of P.T.Barnum, what do you think of? The circus? Well, he had a full and complete life BEFORE he ever got involved with the circus! This biography was written by him during his midlife "retirement" when he first thought he was done and ready to settle down.He was too full of life and ideas to stay home, though, and eventually went back to work.

From Barnum's childhood onward and to the borders of 'Genuine Bear’s Grease', the 'Fejee Mermaid', General Tom Thumb, and beyond, this work captivated my interest somewhat, but may prove a bit tiring for the younger fast-paced-lifestyle generations. Read for personal historical research.I found this work and its contents helpful and inspiring - number rating relates to the book's contribution to my needs.I identified with Barnum's feelings concerning his silver dollar as a youth, the same emotio...
