On June 20, 2012 the "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" (FAZ), a big german Newspaper published nearly a whole page about Edward Two Two (abt. 1851 - 1914). Two Two (Numpalla?) traveled three times with the German Circus Sarrasani through Germany. On the 1914 Tour he became ill and in July he died. In his last will (--> National Archive Washington D.C.) Two Two wished to be buried in Dresden, Germany. With the beginning of WWI his widow and grandchild returned to the USA. In 1926 Sarrasani raised a headstone over his grave. In 2012 Bettina Renner a German movie director made a documentary film abut Edward Two Two "Begrabt mein Herz in Dresden (Bury my heart at Dresden)". While shooting the film, she found a movie from 1913, shot in the forests around Dresden. That film showed fighting "Cowboys and Indians" with Edward Two Two starring. Two Two on the left side?
