America's Elephants is a fascinating new journey into the hinterlands of the countryside that sees an animal so huge, so graceful, so strong, and yet so tender, that horses balk in fright, parents stand away shyly and children of all ages are mesmerized by their incredible abilities.
This fascinating new e-Book will take you from oceanside arrivals to the births of new elephants here in America. The advertisement world loved the elephants and cards, ads, and newspapers all utilized this lumbering giant of the jungle.
The Circus in particular, utilized the excitement that the elephants created to the maximum amount of use.

The circus posters that heralded the arrival of the greatest piece of American entertainment to arrive in your town for just one day regalled in their brilliance, offering the strange, the odd, and the unusually enormous creatures to appear before your very eyes.
The elephants became a mainstay attraction in the Public Zoos. The mysterious White Elephants of Burma graced the American soil a couple of times only to find amazing examples of unexplained phenomenon to occur after returning to its native lands.
Now the elephant is struggling for survival. Poaching and International regulations have destroyed what was once taken for granted. Breeding programs are slowly helping out but when an elephant is pregnant for 22 months, not much gets done very quickly.
