The first major biography of P.T. Barnum in a generation, a vivid account of the forefather of American entertainment.

P. T. Barnum was the greatest showman the world has ever seen: the cocreator of the Barnum & Bailey Circus and the man who made worldwide sensations of Jumbo the Elephant, General Tom Thumb, and the Swedish Nightingale, Jenny Lind. He was the champion of wonder, joy, trickery, and humbug. He was, as Barnum argues, one of the most important Americans of the nineteenth century.

Nearly 125 years after his death, the name P. T. Barnum still inspires wonder. Robert Wilsons vivid new biography captures the full genius, infamy, and allure of the ebullient showman. From birth to death, Phineas Taylor Barnum repeatedly reinvented himself. He learned as a young man how to wow crowds, and built a fortune that placed him among the first millionaires in the United States. He also suffered tragedy, bankruptcy, and fires that destroyed his lifes work, yet willed himself to rebuild and succeed again. As an entertainer, Barnum courted controversy time and again throughout his lifeyet he was also a man of strong convictions, guided in his work not by a desire to deceive but an eagerness to thrill and bring joy to his audiences. He almost certainly never uttered the infamous line, There's a sucker born every minute, instead taking pride in giving crowds their moneys worth and more.

Robert Wilson, editor of The American Scholar, tells a gripping story in Barnum, one thats imbued with the same buoyant spirit as the man himself. Wilson adeptly makes the case for P. T. Barnums place among the icons of American history, as a figure who represented, and indeed created, a distinctly American sense of optimism, industriousness, humor, and relentless energy.
