Autobiography Of Matthew Scott, Jumbo's Keeper

The Autobiography of Matthew Scott, Jumbo's Keeper: Also Jumbo's Biography is a book written by Matthew Scott in 1885. The book is an account of Scott's experiences as the keeper of Jumbo, a famous elephant that was exhibited in Europe and North America during the mid-19th century. The book is divided into two parts: the first part is Scott's autobiography, which details his life and career as an elephant keeper, while the second part is a biography of Jumbo, which includes information about the elephant's origins, training, and public exhibitions.
