THE LIFE AND BUSINESS OF: P.T. Barnum Josh SteelClay McMellon

BIRTH & DEATH  On the 5th of July 1810, Phineas Taylor, later to be known as P.T., was born in Bethel, Connecticut  April 7 th the long sickness of P. T. Barnum came to an end by his quietly passing away at Marina, his residence in this city.

CHILDHOOD  Barnum found farm life-style was not favorable to him.  He found invention in traditional work  By the age of twelve owned a sheep and a calf, sold cherry-rum to soldiers, and was hired to help herd a cattle drive to Brooklyn, New York.

EDUCATION  The life of the Barnum family was humble.  Despite lean family resources, P.T. Barnum began school by the age of six.  As he progressed in years, he exhibited great aptitude for mathematics, and used "head-work" as his method for escaping egregious farming chores.

PROFESSIONAL LIFE  paid $1,000 slave named Joice Heth, who was 161 years old and a former nurse for George Washington.  Barnum bought Scudder's American Museum in lower Manhattan  Barnum made "the Swedish Nightingale" an offer of $1,000 per performance for 150 shows in the United States and Canada, a tour which earned him a profit of more than $500,000

BUSINESSES  He went bankrupt after attempting to lure the doomed Jerome Clock Company to Bridgeport.  Served two terms in the Connecticut Legislature and one term as mayor of Bridgeport.

INTERESTING FACTS  his grandfather deeded him a parcel of land known as lvy Island.  When he was 10 years old, he went to visit his estate and discovered it to be “a worthless piece of barren land.”  When he heard Scudder’s American Museum was for sale, Barnum determined to buy it. He mortgaged himself to the building’s owner, proposing for collateral good references, a determination to succeed, and a “valuable and sentimental” piece of property known as Ivy Island.

QUOTES  Clowns are the pegs on which the circus is hung.  Money is some respects life’s fire: it is a very excellent servant, but a terrible master.  Nine out of ten of the rich men of our country today, started out in life as poor boys, with determined wills, industry, perseverance, economy and good habits.
