One of the most colorful breed of men in 19th-century circusdom was
the press agent, whose duty was to act as "an umpire between the
show and the newspapers," and promote his company's greatness in
order to generate public interest in advance of the performances.
Charles H. Day, one of the leading "puffers" of his time, was
particularly active between 1872-87, but unlike many of his
colleagues, was also published widely in the entertainment
newspapers and magazines. William L. Slout has collected together
the best of Day's colorful and evocative essays of 19th-century
circus life, and has also added a helpful Circus Personnel
Reference Roster, notes, and detailed index.
