Anyone know of any documentaries/non-fiction books on old carny life?


I would be interested to learn more about carnival circuits from yesteryear (not modern ones). Thanks in advance to all those with referrals.

I enjoyed reading this large site dedicated to yesteryear's carnival life. There are some very long biographies buried within the links from original performers. The Giant and The Half Lady (forgot their real/stage names) is a good read.
