 Joice Heth Archive
Heth had been exhibited by others with little success, but Barnum brought her to New York, advertised her age as 161, and claimed that she had been nursemaid to the young George Washington.
With Joice Heth, Barnum demonstrated two of the techniques that would mark his showmanship in the decades to come: manipulation of the popular press and the use of scientific "experts" to evaluate his exhibits.
Joice Heth was a popular subject in the pages of the "three-penny press" (often referred to by historians as the penny press), which catered to urban working-class readers and challenged the cultural authority of more genteel (and more expensive, at six cents per copy) newspapers.

The pamphlet also promised that all proceeds from its sale, and from admissions to the Heth exhibition, would be used to buy her descendents out of slavery, a claim that Barnum concocted in the face of abolitionist criticism of his presentation of the enslaved Heth.
