Wisconsin - Home to many a Circus
This is a fantastic book about the showfolks that called the State of Wisconsin home. It was co-authored by two of the alltime great circus historians, Mr. Stuart Thayer and Mr. Fred Dahlinger Jr. It was issued in 1998 through the Circus World Museum and is 142 pages long.
So to honor the Badger State Showmen, I've posted a few pieces to follow of a few great Wisconsin Shows.
I performed from 1973 to 1995 with a couple years off in between. I did an aerial cradle act for three years, low wire as a clown, trained llamas, ponies, then lions and tigers for 15 years. I am now a firefighter, a member of the Circus Historical Society and an author of several circus and carnival related subjects.
