Phineas Taylor Barnum (1810-1891) is most famous for his association with the American circus, but he did not become involved in the circus until he was in his 60’s. He began displaying people and curiosities (General Tom Thumb, the fiji mermaid, cheng and eng…) in his “American Museum” and soon teamed up with James Baily to form the “Barnum & Bailey Circus”.
