As a starting point I decided to google search circus history and
found a good bit of information regarding history, but the traveling
carnival is another matter. I found nothing useful on the traveling
carnivals [outside of Amazon.com which seems to have a nice selection
of published books on the subject].

In fact in the first 10 google pages that I searched I found a lot of
hits concerning HBO's series Carnivàle, but not a definite site on the
history of the traveling carnival.

Why is that?


I would love to know.

Because I really want to find some information on the "Old Man of the
Mountain" Traveling carnival out of New Hampshire. During the year 1935. Would like
to know the names of the folks and pictures.
