In the cool, pre-dawn hours on a June night in 1918, a train
engineer closed his cab window as he chugged toward Hammond,
Indiana. He drifted to sleep, and his train bore down on the idle
Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus Train. Soon after, the sleeping engineer's
locomotive plowed into the circus train. In the subsequent wreckage
and blaze, more than two hundred circus performers were injured and
eighty-six were killed, most of whom were interred in a mass grave
in the Showmen's Rest section of Chicago's Woodlawn Cemetery. Join
local historian Richard Lytle as he recounts, in the fullest
retelling to date, the details of this tragedy and its role in the
overall evolution and demise of a unique entertainment industry.
