Tripping on Travel: MORE Chepachet, Rhode Island
One of the more interesting points in Chepachet's history is found through a plaque mounted on a bridge that crosses the Chepachet River on Rt 44, a 5.2 mile waterway with eight dams along the river's length. It's unusual in that it flows north through the Smith and Sayles Reservoir located just south of Chestnut Hill Rd. I pass the reservoir's north end in the second half of my driven route. The plaque regards the second of two elephants that were brought from India into the United States as circus attractions in the 1820s and were subsequently murdered. In 1826 that second elephant, nicknamed Little Bett, returned to Chepachet at only 12 years old while touring the east coast. It was ultimately ambushed and murdered by an organized group of six males with firearms who may have committed the killing over nothing more than a bet. They were arrested and prosecuted. The carcass of Little Bett, however, ended up at a local tannery and the elephant was skinned.
