After the merger in 1919, the company really started to take off. The circus has a long and interesting history with some amazing performers. Back in the late 1930s, one of the start performers was Frank Buck. He was a hunter and an adventurer. He was even an actor, writer, producer, and director. His personality and story was larger than life, and the public learned of him through his book Bring ‘Em Back Alive and his movies.
