Life of P. T. Barnum

Paperback (Forgotten Books Aug. 24, 2012)
In these pages I have given the true history of my many adventures, and the numerous enterprises in which I have been engaged. Those who peruse this volume will see that my career has been truly a checkered one. I have been a farmers boy and a merchant, a clerk and a manager, a showman and a bank-president. I have been in jails and in palaces; have known poverty and abundance; have travelled over a large portion of two Continents; have encountered all varieties of men, have seen every phase of human character ;and I have on several occasions been in imminent personal peril. - -- :I nall this I have had some sad experiences, but, on the whole, my life has been a merry one, I have looked chiefly on the bright side of things, and from the various anecdotes with which this volume is interspersed some of mv readers may think I have inclined too much to the ludicrous.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
