Records about Addison Nathans from the Circus Historical Society
Yet another Nathans entered the circus business in 1868; this was Addison Mandelle Nathans, half-brother of John J., the child of Isaac Nathans’ third marriage (he sired eighteen children all told). Addison, or Ad, as he preferred it, was in the Confederate Army in the Civil War, having been raised in Florida. He followed mercantile pursuits for some years before going to work for brother John J. on the Great European Circus. In 1869 he was with George F. Bailey and returned to the European for 1870 and 1871.

Ad Nathans, who worked for John J. Nathans during the Barnum years, joined W. C. Coup in 1881 and in 1882, using equipment leased from Coup, put Nathans & Co. on tour. In 1883 Ad hired Dan Rice and began what he hoped would be an improvement on the mediocre 1882 season. In fact, Nathans & Co. had one of most disastrous tours ever suffered by a circus. Among the catastrophes were the deaths of the elephant, and of a performer, blowdowns, a fire and finally, bankruptcy.

This was Ad Nathans’ final attempt at circus-owning. He retired that winter.
