Reviews for Big Top Boss: JOHN RINGLING NORTH AND THE CIRCUS
"North was a controversial, almost mythic figure, and Hammarstrom details the bitter family squabble over control of the circus, North's autocratic, arbitrary management of the circus, his playboy social life, and the labor battles and social changes that altered the circus forever... A fascinating piece of Americana."
