Sesqui!: Greed, Graft, and the Forgotten World's Fair of 1926

Freeland Kendrick welcomed the world, including 150,000 of his fellow Shriners, to an unfinished fair of shabbily built, mostly empty structures set in a sea of mud. The disgusted Shriners traveled home and told their friends and neighbors not to bother with "Kendrick's Karnival."
