P.T. Barnum

P.T. Barnum was a son of a tailor, his dad name was Philo Barnum. Since he was a child, he was poor, but when he met Charity Hallett, he fell in love with her. He went to America, at least to find a job or get money. He proposed to Charity Hallett at the year of 1829.

He opened a museum, named Barnum's American museum of curiosity, but no one came to the museum (okay, maybe there was). Then he had an idea to recruit unique people, when he put on his first show, the show was a success.

Phineas Taylor Barnum was an American showman, politician, and businessman remembered for promoting celebrated hoaxes and for founding the Barnum & Bailey Circus. He was also an author, publisher, and philanthropist, though he said of himself: "I am a showman by profession… and all the gilding shall make nothing else of me". According to his critics, his personal aim was "to put money in his own coffers." He is widely credited with coining the adage "There's a sucker born every minute", although no evidence can be found of him saying this.
