Archer, John (July 20, 2020). "Disney+ Announces New Films And TV Shows For August (2020)". Forbes . Retrieved August 14, 2020. In the early 19th century, young P.T. Barnum and his tailor father Philo work for the Hallett family. Barnum falls for the Halletts’ daughter, Charity. When Charity attends finishing school, she and Barnum write to each other until reuniting as adults. They eventually marry and raise two daughters, Caroline and Helen, in New York City. They live a humble life, and though Charity is happy, Barnum craves more.
Barnum died from a stroke at home in 1891 at the age of 80. [30] He is buried in Mountain Grove Cemeteryin Bridgeport, Connecticut, a cemetery that he designed. [7] Legacy [ edit ]Barnum served two terms in the Connecticut legislature in 1865 as a Republican for Fairfield, Connecticut. He spoke before the legislature concerning the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which abolished slavery and involuntary servitude: "A human soul, 'that God has created and Christ died for,' is not to be trifled with. It may tenant the body of a Chinaman, a Turk, an Arab, or a Hottentot—it is still an immortal spirit." [5] He was elected in 1875 as mayor of Bridgeport, Connecticut, where he worked to improve the water supply, bring gas lighting to streets and enforce liquor and prostitution laws. He was also instrumental in the inception of Bridgeport Hospital in 1878 and was its first president. [6] However, the circus business, begun when he was 60 years old, was the source of much of his enduring fame. He established "P.T. Barnum's Grand Traveling Museum, Menagerie, Caravan & Hippodrome" in 1870, a traveling circus, menagerie and museum of "freaks" that adopted many names over the years. A recovering Phillip offers his share of the profits to help Barnum rebuild the circus in exchange for becoming a full partner, which Barnum readily accepts. To economize, Barnum transforms the enterprise into an open-air tent circus.

Yes I know that some people don’t like The Greatest Showman (they’re wrong) and point out that PT Barnum was probably a much more difficult character in real life (fair enough). It is a bit of a Marmite film, and not everybody likes it. But those who do are generally MAD for it, and it’s those people that this book is aimed at.
