Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The Browns had a duty to name their son. They had already named their two daughters after family members, so they turned to the Bible for inspiration. They chose a name that would guide the child on a safe and righteous path.

#2 The family lived out of their wagon while William built them a house. The small wooden house soon became a refuge, as the Kansas prairie was turned into a battlefield in the Civil War. With any money that was left over, the Browns traveled to the capital city of Topeka and visited the Great Traveling World’s Fair.

#3 When he was ten, Barnum began helping his mother around the house, and when he was old enough, he began accompanying his father on the family’s endless trips to find new coal seams. He began storing and collecting specimens, which became his first museum.

#4 The boy had stumbled onto the most pressing question in science: how did the Earth get its rocks and minerals. miners began to realize that the Earth was much older than a literal interpretation of the Bible would suggest.
