    The Circus by Mary Kay Phelan, illustrated by John Alcorn
In 1815, a sea captain brought “Old Bet,” an African elephant, to this country. The captain’s brother, Hachaliah Bailey, bought “Old Bet.” Then Mr. Bailey walked the huge animal around the countryside, showing her in farmers’ barns. Mr. Bailey and his elephant always traveled after dark, so no one could get a free look.
