the history of the circus

The History of the Circus           In this essay I would like to tell the story of the first circus and its leaders and growth overtime.

Astley was a horse-breaker and trainer in the war so his knowledge with animals came to be very useful with his new show.

Testerman on July 25, 1864 to Miss Jane Davis. This letter starts with him saying how happy he is to be receiving a letter with her name at the bottom of it.
