Prologue: playing The palace
The boy from Bridgeport
At the American Museum
Prince Charles the First
Buttons, bullfights, and balloons
Hop o' my thumb
Heart of a child
On the New York stage
The measure of a man
The wedding of the year
The long and short of it
A very strange honeymoon
Tom Thumb's America
Around the world
At the helm
A marriage and two funerals
The great fire
At Mountain Grove.
