A New Chapter for a New Year

BECOMING BARNUM: The Journey to Fame and FortuneA New Chapter for a New Year   - Episode 25In this episode of the Becoming Barnum podcast, A “new chapter” is about to begin in P. T. Barnum’s business life as we learn from a group of letters he composed—appropriately—on New Year’s Day in 1846.  Barnum had just arrived in Edinburgh, Scotland, after two days in Newcastle upon Tyne, where Gen. Tom Thumb performed.  Even in their brief time there, Barnum had managed to write several letters to correspondents in America, but no sooner were these crossing the ocean than a new batch requiring answers was delivered to him in Scotland. Learn more about PT Barnum’s Letter Copy Book here: https://tinyurl.com/BarnumArchivehttps://tinyurl.com/Dinnerwareandteahttps://tinyurl.com/Barnumletterhttps://tinyurl.com/TThumbTokenhttps://tinyurl.com/Sherwoodletterhttps://tinyurl.com/nywondershttps://tinyurl.com/IranistanFeaturehttps://tinyurl.com/barnumlettershttps://tinyurl.com/iranistanRead the Blog Post this episode is based on: A New Chapter for a New Yearhttps://barnum-museum.org/a-new-chapter-for-a-new-year/An Array of Museums https://barnum-museum.org/an-array-of-museums/Let us know your thoughts by writing a review for the Podcast!Want to follow and support the Barnum Museum in Bridgeport Connecticut in more ways?  Follow us on:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BarnumMuseumInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/barnummuseumFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thebarnummuseumTwitter: https://twitter.com/barnummuseumWebsite: https://barnum-museum.org/​​Click to Donate!  It’s easy and supports the Barnum Museum’s programs, restoration, and ongoing mission to make people happy!https://barnum-museum.org/donate/Join as a Member or Sponsor and be part of the Barnum Museum family in Bridgeport CT!https://barnum-museum.org/membership/Episode sponsored by:People’s United Bank: https://www.peoples.com/CTHumanities: https://cthumanities.org/City of Bridgeport: https://www.bridgeportct.gov/Please share this podcast episode with your friends!
