Old Bet - First Elephant in America
On todays date in 1797 in New York Harbor the ship America laid anchor with the precious cargo of Old Bet, an Indian elephant. Old Bet immediately toured the country - handbills warned viewers to keep important documents from the elephant as she routinely destroyed paper. Around 1820 she was acquired by Hackaliah Bailey when Barnum & Bailey's Circuse began.

A thank you to all those that have made this beautiful project a reality!

Whate'er I do, things great or small
Whate'er I do, things great or small
Whate'er I speak or frame.

Do all in Jesus' name.

My Father, for His sake I pray.
Thy child accept and bless
And lead me by Thy grace to-day
In paths of righteousness. Amen.
