Modoc: The True Story of the Greatest Elephant That Ever Lived

1998

by Ralph Helfer

Modoc is a captivating true story of loyalty, friendship, and high adventure that spans several decades and three continents.

Raised together in a small German circus town, a boy and an elephant formed a bond that would last their entire lives, tested time and again through a near-fatal shipwreck in the Indian Ocean, an apprenticeship with the legendary Mahout elephant trainers in the Indian teak forests, and their eventual rise to circus stardom in 1940s New York City.

As the African Sun-Times put it, Modoc is "heartwarming...probably the greatest love story ever told."
