Query: Too much poetic license, not enough facts

An over-romaniticized tale, lacking in basic facts. I've read many accounts of American circus history, and the author has obviously taken liberties with his story, while omitting details of dates and location. One example: a photograph lacking a caption or source data would link Modoc with the great circus fire of Hartford, Conn., yet Hartford is never mentioned in the account of the fire depicted in the book, and the actions attributed to Modoc and Bram are incongruous considering the facts of the fire. (See "The Circus Fire" by Stewart O'Nan) This book is an obvious attempt by Hefler to promote "affection training," and while this is perhaps a worthwhile cause, his method defrauds the American circus of its history.
