William Pack takes you on a fantastical journey through the history of the Circus.
P.T. Barnum may be the biggest name, but he was only a small part of the history of the Circus. William Pack takes you on a fantastical journey through the Circus, from Phil Astley's creation of the modern Circus in 1768 to Dan Rice, "the most famous man you've ever heard of," to the incredible feud between Barnum and the Ringling Brothers. You'll hear stories of triumph, disaster, and the grand adventure of circus travel. Experience the story of those who gave their lives to the Circus and became legends in the process!
