Title: Happy days
Description: "Billy Bailey was a young farm boy in 1945, when he returned from World War II. With his great love for animals, he decided to put together a small group of them and travel as "Bailey's Animal Circus." Over the next few years, the circus grew. As it did, Billy began to feel sorry for all the animals in the show. They didn't belong in trucks and train cars, riding from town to town. They were being treated badly by trainers and even some of the people who came to see them. In 1950 Billy decided he couldn't put his animal friends through the daily grind of travel and hardship. He looked for an opportunity to purchase over a thousand acres of land somewhere and let the animals live a full and easy life of their own"--Page iv of book 1.
