For the first time ever the full true story of George Lockhart’s notorious elephants is told, revealing the identity of their first genuine trainer and clues to why the accounts of their characters differed so much. For the first time ever all the legends and myths are filtered from the true accounts of the elephants’ extraordinary lives. The story connects to various historical events in circus history and some of the biggest names ever to grace the sawdust ring, including their legendary trainers, presenters and owners.

Thanks for putting this up, Buckles,. At the eleventh hour I received further information from the USA on Harry Lockhart who died in Mexico and "Professor" Sam Lockhart who has been featured on this blog a lot due the large amount of work he did with Ringlings and also the elephants he left in America. My book may mainly deal with George Lockhart's elephants, but it would appear that his relationship with his brother, Sam, led him to his tragic career with elephants.
