Title: Snake Oil, Hustlers and Hambones: The American Medicine Show by Ann Anderson, Heinrich R. Falk ISBN: 0-7864-0800-6 Publisher: McFarland & Company Pub. Date: July, 2000 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $38.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.83 (6 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: Hucksters, and Hambones
Comment: Ann Anderson has done her homework. Finding information about early medicine shows is about as easy as finding a fossilized T-Rex's tooth. Anderson has done a superb job with this work and I recommend it very highly to anyone interested in the "beginning entertainment" of the United States.

Summary: Buy this book!
Comment: This terrific book is as fun as it is informative. Anderson's exhaustive research is evident on every page, and her writing style is perfect: spare enough to let the color of the topic shine through, but never dry. As she relates the history of the medicine show, she shows how modern medicine, advertising and entertainment evolved together; her skill at illuminating these linkages gives the book even more weight and depth. It's an outstanding work of scholarship...and a damned good read!
Rating: 5
Summary: Read it!
Comment: A thoroughly entertaining and informative book with a subject matter I never thought would interest me. Having an advertising background, I was intrigued and facinated by the history of the medicine show and the impact it has had on our culture from a media standpoint. Well written, incredibly reasearched, and fun to read. Read it!
