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