Almost 7,000 fans eagerly packed into the Ringling Brothers big top
on July 6, 1944. With a single careless act, an afternoon at the
"Greatest Show on Earth" quickly became one of terror and tragedy
as the paraffin-coated circus tent caught fire. Panicked crowds
rushed for the few exits, but in minutes, the tent collapsed on
those still struggling to escape below. A total of 168 lives were
lost, many of them children, with many more injured and forever
scarred by the events. Hartford and the surrounding communities
reeled in the aftermath as investigators searched for the source of
the fire and the responsible parties. Through firsthand accounts,
interviews with survivors and a gripping collection of vintage
photographs, author Michael Skidgell attempts to make sense of one
of Hartford's worst tragedies.
