America's First Elephant Jeanette Dead at Sintea Indiana
Jeanette, likely the oldest elephant in the United States and a veteran of many menageries since 1818, died near Sintea Ind. Born in 1809 in Africa, she arrived in America in 1823 aboard a Liverpool clipper to New York after a £5,000 purchase. Her journey and career spanned forty changes of hands and long fame before fading as elephants became common.
