Much has been written about the great elephant Jumbo, P.T. Barnum's centerpiece from 1882 until the animal's tragic death in 1885. But what could be more authoritative than that penned here by Jumbo's longtime keeper Matthew Scott? This autobiography of Jumbo's keeper and biography of the most famous pachyderm of all was published in 1885, the same year of that elephant's death. Handier than the free PDFs on the web, this you can hold, bookmark, highlight and shelve. An inexpensive imperative for any history buff. With additional illustrations.

The story of "Jumbo" as written by Matthew Scott, Jumbo's keeper and friend. "I have travelled through the United States, North, East, South, and West, and have received in my travels the greatest kindness. If "Jumbo" could but speak, I know he would endorse what I say here. I have had the same experience in Great Britain, and the spirit of gratitude impels me to acknowledge my appreciation of the good will of the people of both countries, by dedicating my humble efforts to them, hoping that this attempt may be received with the same kindness that has been always extended to me in person. " Matthew Scott 1885
