Peter Hope the only ourang-outang in America
Peter Hope, touted as America’s sole ourang-outang, was sent from Philadelphia to San Francisco for $2500. The two year old, eight to three feet tall, forty pounds, insured for $3000, performs humanlike tasks on command and eats with utensils. He was born in Borneo, lived free with his mother until captured, then journeyed via Berlin to Philadelphia and thence to America aboard the Kaiserin Wilhelm der Grosse. He endured seasickness, settled in a three-room cage above a shop, and now enjoys boiled milk, bananas, and cake under attentive care.
