In regard to Mr. Reynolds excellent article above, here are a few pictures of Mr. Langdon. This one taken at Hall's Farm in 1918 and shows "Billy" and "Katie" pulling the Indian Pete Wild West band wagon.
His earlier years come from one of my dad's letters but he didn't include the precise dates.

I was unaware of his years in Atlanta but I believe he was later at the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago.
I met him once in either 1950 or "51 when he was visiting my dad on the Kelly-Miller Show.
