The Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York, dazzled with its
new rainbow-colored electric lights. It showcased an array of
wonders, like daredevils attempting to go over Niagara Falls in a
barrel, or the "Animal King" putting the smallest woman in the
world and also terrifying animals on display. But the
thrill-seeking spectators little suspected that an assassin walked
the fairgrounds, waiting for President William McKinley to arrive.
In Margaret Creighton's hands, the result is "a persuasive case
that the fair was a microcosm of some momentous facets of the
United States, good and bad, at the onset of the American Century"
(Howard Schneider, Wall Street Journal).
