About the Author

Reginald W. Bacon is a museum and history professional with specialties in early American architecture and domestic life --- and early 20th-century music, vaudeville, and circus. His first career as a journalist and editor --- an old-school news reporter in the profession that "writes the first draft of history" ---built the foundation for his current books and research, as well as his work for museums and historic sites. A graduate of Syracuse University (Newhouse School of Public Communications; Maxwell School of Public Affairs) and Harvard (Museum Studies), he is the author of a dozen books on history and performing arts topics.
