Read it:

Connecticut and New York, 1810 to 1891. A storekeeper's son buys the right to exhibit an enslaved woman advertised as George Washington's nurse, sells tickets to her autopsy, and spends the next fifty-five years learning what a crowd will pay to see. He runs a museum on Broadway that counts every person through the door, makes a Swedish soprano the most famous woman in America before she sings a note, loses everything on clock stock, and writes the exposure of his own trade. The advertising business that followed claimed science and would not claim him. It kept his headline, his planted paragraph, his free ticket, and his count of paid attendance, which was the only hard number any of them ever had. Covers Phineas Taylor Barnum and Scudder's American Museum.
