houston show

am including the scans from the memorabilia of Sam Houston, given to me by his daughter Adonna. I am also sending the picture of Singh.

Mr. Houston had a traveling museum with four railroad cars, including the former Paddy Conklin elephant car. He started out with circus and helped set up the Sells Floto Circus for Bonfils. He also worked with Gentry's Dog and Pony Show.

I will send what I can and also take pictures of the elephant wardrobe that I have.
