Lytle.In the cool, pre-dawn hours on a June night in 1918, a train engineer closed his cab window as he chugged toward Hammond, Indiana. He drifted to sleep and his train bore down on the idle Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus Train. Soon after, the sleeping engineer’s locomotive plowed into the circus train. This volume provides you with details on this tragedy and its role in the demise of a unique entertainment industry. 112 pages, 35+ B&W photographs, 6″x 9″, softcover.
