Records about Edmund Simpson from the Circus Historical Society
Originally an actor, took control of the Park Theatre, NYC, with Stephen Price, 1812. When the two managers considered James West’s circus company to be threatening competition, they developed a scheme to buy him out by circulating a rumor that they were about to construct an arena for circus performances and by hiring Sam Tatnall to break horses in a lot behind the theatre. This charade was enough to convince West to sell out to Simpson & Price and return to England, well paid for his efforts.
