During Theodore Roosevelt's famous African safari in 1909 he stayed at the British East African house of Sir Alfred Pease in what is now Kenya.During the safari Roosevelt shot his first lion which weighed 285lbs. Roosevelt's book, African Game Trails, contains his account of how he came to shoot the lion - two shots and a third from close quarters were required. Kermit, Roosevelt's son accompanied on the safari and is also on the film.
Alfred Pease's wife went on the safari with the men. When she died back in England Pease had a memorial stained glass window installed in Guisborough's St Nicholas Church.
A detail in the glass shows Pease's lion that finished up at Middlesbrough's Dorman Museum.
