Ken Maynard's Wild West Show
Here's a few photos from Ken Maynard's Wild West Show. As most of you know, Ken Maynard bought a lot of circus equipment from George Christy. These photos are all taken on May 2, 1936 in Van Nuys, California. Unfortunately, I don't know who the origianl photographer was.
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.
