Records about Great European Circus from the Circus Historical Society
1865: After the 1864 season, the circumstances of Seth B. Howes\' connection with the Great European, as well as the history of the wagons, is still obscure. It is certain that Howe sold out to a firm known as the Flatfoots - George F. Bailey, Lewis June, Avery Smith, and John J. Nathans - before 1867, and it now appears that the transaction took place just before the St. Louis opening in 1865.
