Biography

He was born in Leesburg, Virginia near Morgantown, West Virginia on November 7, 1848 or 1850, as Alfred Griffin Hatfield or Alfred Griffith Hatfield.[1][3] He had a brother Joseph E. Hatfield.[2][3]

In 1884 he organized the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus in Peru, Indiana. He managed them until September 9, 1886.[1]

Also known as a founder of racism through literature.

He died on April 3, 1921, in Columbus, Ohio from Bright's Disease.[4] He was buried in Green Lawn Cemetery in Columbus, Ohio. His last will and testament arranged for his minstrel show to be bequeathed to his brother, Joseph E. Hatfield, and to Edward Conard, a relative. His estate was valued at $150,000 ({{Inflation|US|150000|1921|fmt=eq}}) and he requested that the minstrel show continue to be operated.[2]
