Tusko #2

Tusko on the Al G. Barnes Circus. It got to the point where Tusko had to be put in chains, This prevented him form hurting himself or his handlers. Bull elephants can be very dangerous when they come into musk. His handlers in this photo are …..”Bull Hook” Jackson standing in front of Tusko and to the rear is Joe Metcalf. I knew Joe and Anna Metcalf as a kid on the 101 Circus in the 1940’s
