I am indebted to Fred Dahlinger, Jr., Director of the Robert L. Parkinson Library and Research Center at the Circus Word Museum, Baraboo, Wisconsin, for the help and encouragement he has extended in the development of this anthology. I also want to express my appreciation to Leonor De La Vega and her staff at the Hertzberg Circus Collection and Museum, San Antonio, Texas, for hospitality shown me during my research there.
