Elephant Trophy Brings Roosevelt Dream Home to Huttig
Fred Johnson, long inspired by Teddy Roosevelt, displays a 1200 pound African elephant head and two rhinoceros heads in his Huttig den. The trophies were shipped from Kenya and Wyoming taxidermist work completed after a 60 day Africa safari led by Col. Gibson Peterson. Johnson, a former printer and postmaster, built a life around hunting across Canada and Africa, culminating in a wall of fame that may someday join the University of Arkansas collection.
