With this book in your hands, you can almost hear the thunder of the horses and the roar of the lions, smell the popcorn, wonder at the breathtaking tricks the spangled aerialist performs high above the sawdust ring. THE CIRCUS IN AMERICA, long out of print, documents with verve and authority this most populist form of American entertainment, using the unsurpassed collections of the Circus World Museum in Baraboo, Wisconsin. The book has 96 full-color reproductions of the eye-popping color posters that announced the arrival of the circus, as well as almost two hundred black-and-white archival photographs of the great circus acts and behind-the-scenes action under the Big Top. The text, written by two long-time circus historians, is informed and amusing.
