Check out this year's publication of "Philip Atley & The Horsemen who invented the Circus." By Circopedia/Dominique Jando.

I just learned from my wife

that Hussars were members of

light cavalry regiments from

many different countries but

they originated in Hungary

Hussar regiments occured in

England from 1805 until 1914

Was Jando part of your

original BAC team Paul

Paul Binder said...

Yes, Chic,. Jando was Big Apple Circus' Associate Director. He is a circus historian and the founder/director of Circopedia.

AND I see that I misspelled ASTLEY
