War of the Words
This is from the September 26, 1903 New York Clipper where it very clearly points out that they are the Greatest Show on Earth while the Barnum & Bailey moniker has been the Greatest Show on Earth for years now. ( You can double click it to enlarge it if you want )
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.
