This past weekend, while in Connecticut for a wedding, my girlfriend and I made a brief detour to the Hartford Circus Fire Memorial.
I'm curious to hear if anyone else has read the Circus Fire, Stewart O'Nan's account of the tragedy? After my little excursion I decided to pick it up and read it again. |

I read the book.
Frank Dorn (Sir Francis)still talked about it forty years later. He always believed the official story, that it was started by a retarded teen. Best evidence puts it on one or two working men who were fired for bothering a web girl.
One of the last living 10-in-one performers. I wanted to be in show business the worst way, and that was it.
