Reviews
"Jerry Apps diligently searched the most extensive circus archives in America before writing about the Brothers Ringling. He covers the lives of the Ringlings and provides extensive examples of family correspondence. He details financial records of their circuses, proving their financial success. Best of all, Ringlingville USA is historically correct." ( Fred Dr. Pfening Jr., Editor, Bandwagon: The Journal of the Circus Historical Society ) "Congratulations to Jerry Apps for Ringlingville USA . This is an excellent historical story about my grandfather, Alf T. Ringling, and his brothers. Ringlingville brought bittersweet memories of my days with the circus, 1937 through 1941, and the lullaby of the wheels." ( Paul T.

Synopsis
The Ringling Brothers began their business under the most modest of circumstances and through hard work, business savvy, and some luck created the largest, most famous circus in the world. They became wealthy men, one 50 cent admission ticket at a time. Ringlingville USA chronicles the brothers' journey from immigrant poverty to enduring glory as the kings of the circus world. The Ringlings and their circus were last studied in depth over four decades ago. Now, for the first time, the brothers' detailed financial records and personal correspondence are available to researchers. Jerry Apps weaves together that information with newspaper accounts, oral histories, colorful anecdotes, and stunning circus ephemera and photos, many never before been published, to illuminate the importance of the Ringlings' accomplishments. He describes how the Ringling Brothers confronted the challenges of taxation, war, economic pressure, changing technology, and personal sorrows to find their place in history. The brothers emerge as complex characters whose ambition, imagination, and pure hucksterism fueled the phenomenon that was the Ringling Brothers' Circus., The Ringling Brothers began their business under the most modest of circumstances and through hard work, business savvy, and some luck created the largest, most famous circus in the world.

- l***0 (112)- Feedback gegeven door koper.Afgelopen 6 maandenGeverifieerde aankoopThese sellers must be pros. I ordered a signed 1st/1st, and very much appreciated that it arrived as if it had been sent to me by one of the indies from which I order collectible editions. Not only was the shipping fast, the packing was outstanding — a sturdy cardboard envelope in which the book was wrapped in both plastic and paper. I could not be more pleased and will happily recommend this seller to others. Thank you, Turgid Tomes.Memorial Days: A Memoir - SIGNED (#167473421884)
