Humans have always liked being entertained. There have probably always been men and women who made livings as entertainers, be they thespians, musicians or possessed some other form of showmanship. Stage plays date back 500 years or more, B.C. In early America, it was no different. Performers with an array of talents toured the country, bringing enjoyment to these pre-TV, pre-motion picture era citizens. The skills these entertainers developed ran the gamut from the ordinary, singers and dancers to the extraordinary, with circus skills, magic and shooting.
