"... my case was actual capital to certain preachers and religious editors who were in want of fresh illustrations wherewith to point their morals." P. T. Barnum's story is a glimpse of early 19th century and a fascinating account of the impresario's life, a legendary promoter and marketeer. Still, he was much more than a showman, he was a politician and a city father; a teetotaler and deep thinker. In short, he was a unique man whose life story is worthy of attention. Barnum's own chronicle began with his 1855 "Life of P. T. Barnum." In 1869 he published the first edition of this "Struggles and Triumphs - Sixty Years' Recollections of P. T. Barnum." Four revisions followed first in 1870, then in 1872 and 1873. This 1889 edition is the last and most complete of all. An imperative for any history buff or any business- or marketing-major, in fact for anyone with ambition.
Reprint of the original, first published in 1882.
Phineas Taylor Barnum, popularly known as P.T. Barnum, released his own biography in 1855, titled "The Life of P.T. Barnum," which includes his "golden rules for money-making." This edition is a 1888 reprint, containing essentially the same account as the original and includes a number of images and illustrations. This volume can be well regarded as a manual of "showmanship" and moneymaking, given the notorious American businessman's trade and success in his chosen profession. It is quite ironic that someone who is, at the core, sort of a coward and averse to certain inconveniences, would make his stamp in history and society as a master in frauds and hoaxes via his famed Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. The book also displays the author's eccentricity and coarseness, as well as near-sociopathic inclinations in full splendor. As such it is an amusing read, albeit long winded at times. However, the small text may challenge one's vision and makes this tome quite lengthy. What's most interesting about this autobiography is that it is not wholly an account of the author's life. It also has self-help elements that make this book double as a "marketing" and "racketeering" manual, as earlier mentioned. Those who admire Barnum's legacy, as well as those looking to be entertained by real life experiences of a historical figure of an intriguing reputation will do well to pick up this book.
