This is John Strong Jr. I am guessing his age to be around two and a half years old. Learning how to ride an elephant at this age for a circus kid is perfectly normal.

A great photo of John Strong Jr and his wife with a friend in front of his sideshow. They are holding an albino boa constrictor. I spoke with John a few days ago. He is doing some fantastic things with his different shows.

The elephant here is a prop. I have to admit I had to look twice before I noticed it wasn’t real.
