 Famous Clowns - "Yankee" Dan Rice, Uncle Sam's model   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Gradually his papularity as a wise-cracking, aphoristic, cracker-barrel philosopher, a forerunner of Will Rogers, became so great that he was able to buy his own shows, both wagon and river-boat.
His untraditional costume consisted of red, white, and blue-stripedtights, a star-spangled cloak, a top hat and chin whiskers, the regalia that would later be associated with "Uncle Sam." Today, he is arguably best-known as the political cartoonist Ogden Nash's model for Uncle Sam.
Rice's style as clown was based on that of William Wallet, who was an English "Shakespearian" clown who could repsond to comments from the spectators with appropriate quotes from the Bard.
