Phineas T. Barnum's autobiography captures the life of a master showman known for his elaborate hoaxes and innovative promotions. He recounts his experiences, including bringing Jenny Lind to America and showcasing General Tom Thumb. Barnum's self-promotion strategy involved mass publishing, leading to widespread distribution of his memoirs, second only to the New Testament in North America by the late 19th century. He embraced "humbug" in entertainment while criticizing fraudulent practices, reflecting his complex views on truth and deception in show business.
