(Photo taken probably early 1900)
George traveled in carnivals and such performing tightwire acts.
You can barely see the tightwire he is on in the photo on which he is practicing for a
show.
The practice wire is mounted just a couple of feet off the ground unlike
the actual tightwire used in the act.
