The Ringling Brothers & Barnum & Bailey circus arrives in Hartford, Connecticut on July 5th, 1944 - one day before the circus fire that would take the lives of more than 160 fans. This clip from a film called Circus Colossus shows the trains being unloaded, elephants exiting the train, circus folks going about their business, plowing the fields and preparing food.
