P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
It was at one time my serious intention to engage in an American Indian Exhibition on a stupendous scale. I proposed to secure at the far West not less than one hundred of the best specimens of full-blood Indians, with their squaws and papooses, their paint, ponies, dresses, and weapons, for a general tour throughout the United States and Europe. The plan comprehended a grand entry at every town and city where the Indians were to exhibit--the Indians in all the glory of paint and feathers, beads and bright blankets, riding on their ponies, followed by tame buffaloes, elks and antelopes; then an exhibition on a lot large enough to admit of a display of all the Indian games and dances, their method of hunting, their style of cooking, living, etc. Such an exhibition is perfectly practicable now to any one who has the capital and tact to undertake it, and a sure fortune would follow the enterprise.

白话
巴纳姆曾认真打算举办一场规模宏大的美洲印第安人展览。他计划从遥远的西部找来至少一百名纯血印第安人中的精品,连同他们的妻子、孩子、颜料、小马、服饰和武器,到美国和欧洲各地巡回展出。这个计划包括:每到一座城镇就举行盛大的入场仪式——印第安人涂着颜料、戴着羽毛、挂着珠子、披着鲜艳毯子,骑着马,后面跟着驯服的野牛、麋鹿和羚羊;然后在足够大的场地上展示各种印第安游戏和舞蹈、狩猎方法、烹饪和生活方式等。巴纳姆认为,只要有钱有手腕,这种展览完全可行,而且肯定能赚大钱。
