I believe that the African Blondin was my great great grandfather. I recollect visiting his daughter, Jynetta, at a nursing home in Highbury when I was a child. I would like to hear from anyone who has images of him

I am a descendant of 'The Amazing African Blondin', Carlos Trower. He was my g.g.grandfather and married Myra Clay and had one son-Carlos Trower. He also married again and had five more children. This was a bigamous marriage.

Thomas Colcord Pizor

I am related to Harry Colcord, Blondin's business manager, and the man who crossed the Niagara Gorge on Blondin's back. This has been part of our family history for generations and is documented in the Colcord Geneology.

I noticed that a famous play by Alonso Alegria isn't part of your inventory. Written in 1969 is now regarded as the best theatrical piece by a Peruvian writer.
I will have the honor to perform this play in the role of amazing Blondin. I am very proud and wanted to share with you all.

Ramiro Sandoval

Thank you all for keeping this beautiful site.
