Holy crap!

"In October 1926, at age 72, Eastman returned from his first safari in East Africa. It was no small affair. ... At its height, the Eastman party included 13 cars, 80 African natives, 28 camels, and five mules. The hunters killed more than 100 animals, including gazelles, cheetahs, lions, rhinoceroses, and impalas. Eastman bagged his limit of five lions, including one that stood its ground to protect a lioness and two cubs."

Rochester was my hometown. I was told that Eastman was a real louse to his employees. As usual, it was all about money. AND he committed suicide.

I believe the elephant head is in the Eastman House along with other trophies....unless they have been removed to be more PC.
