Allow me to list the actual facts in that moving


PT Barnum was born
He opened a show in New York
He produced the Jenny Lind tour
He did send his circus on the road without him, though he was about 60 at the time

He didn't marry a childhood sweat heart. He didn't grow up a poor urchin. As far as I know he didn't have an upper class partner he brought in for respectability, though he was very interested in selling to the upper echelons, or at least gathering some of their money.

An interesting personality, probably not deserving of some of the villain reputation he had, but definitely not the stuff of a romantic hero.
