"The Yorkshire Mammoth" is a short story by Harry Turtledove, published in Clarkesworld #155, August, 2019. The story may be found online for the time being.[1] It is set in the 1938 of a world where the northern glaciers did not recede to the same extent that they did in the Last Glacial Period of OTL, and so much of northern England remains under ice. Mega-fauna, such as the woolly mammoth, the smilodon, the dire wolf, etc, did not go extinct on the same schedule as they did in OTL. Further, humans learned the value of domesticating the mammoth, and did not hunt them to extinction. The story is narrated by George Holley, a veterinarian practicing in Yorkshire who repairs the tusk of a mammoth belonging to a local farmer.
The story is a pastiche of works of James Alfred Wight, a veterinarian who practiced in Yorkshire in the 1940s, and who wrote a series of semi-autobiographical works under the pen-name James Herriot.
