From a Pontiac, MI newspaper.
January 9, 1878 - "The social hop at Clark Rose's Monday night was a complete success."
April 14, 1880 - "Boyd & Peter's Great Trans-Atlantic Circus, which has been visiting here [Royal Oak], will give their first exhibition here, on the 24th inst."
From the Pontiac Weekly Bill Poster.
April 28, 1880 - "We are told that Boyd & Peters circus has come to a stand still down in Pennsylvania. Maltrome Burkett, aged 14 years. of Somerset county, that state, claims that she was abducted and outraged and kept with the circus for a week, being conveyed from town to town in the ticket wagon, and when allowed to leave she was partially demented. Her story as told in court is too horrible for publication. Last Thursday S. C. Peters, A.W. Davis, Clark Rose and John Campbell, managers, together with fifty attaches, were arrested and jailed to await examination."
From a March 12, 2007 response by Fred Dahlinger in the Olympians message board.

Boyd and Peters Great Transatlantic Allied Shows was an overland show organized in Royal Oak, Michigan in 1878. The principals were Orlando Boyd and S. C. Peters (cameo biographies are available on the CHS website in Slout's "Olympians.") They apparently returned to Royal Oak for the winters of 1878-1879 and 1879-1880, building a modest winter quarter there. The show was having financial difficulties in June 1880. An alleged case of assault the next month brought the operation to a close, despite everyone being acquitted.
