For Barnum’s Birthday: A P.T. Barnum Finding Aid
Three P.T. Barnum posts in one day? This is unprecedented! I’m pretty sure I’ve never done that for anybody, two is the max. But I just so happened to have gotten three ideas for new Barnum posts today, and two of them (including this one) were easy to knock out. So herewith the third, an organized finding aid to our many posts on the father of American Show Business. Use it in good health!
