Comments / pictures

Benjamin Brown the “confidential agent” of a New York menagerie firm was charged with “importing into the United States as many giraffes as can be procured.” Benjamin F. Brown (1799-1880) of Somers, New York, met that challenge and many others in his career during the circus industry’s early years in the United States

Brown’s intriguing career and its captivating stories are on display at the University of Michigan’s William L. Clements Library in “Benjamin F. Brown and the Circus in America.”
