Old Bet

Old Bet (died July 24, 1816) was the first circus elephant and the second elephant brought to the United States. There are reports of an elephant brought to the United States in 1796, but it is not known for certain that this was the elephant that was later named Old Bet.
==Biography==
The first elephant brought to the United States was in 1796, aboard the ''America'' which set sail from Calcutta for New York on December 3, 1795.
However, it is not certain that this was Old Bet.〔 The first references to Old Bet start in 1804 in Boston as part of a menagerie.〔 In 1808, while residing in Somers, New York, Hachaliah Bailey purchased the menagerie elephant for $1,000 and named it "Old Bet".
On July 24, 1816, Old Bet was killed while on tour near Alfred, Maine by local farmer Daniel Davis〔http://www.faithfulreaders.com/2012/06/03/elephants/〕 who shot her, and was later convicted of the crime.The farmer thought it was sinful for people to pay to see an animal.〔〔
