Not all Sideshow Freaks were Human Frank Wendt
Linus II had a 10 foot double mane and a 16 foot tail. He was owned by W. A. Rutherford of Marion, Oregon, and presumably won many ribbons at the local state fair, not to mention attracting many nickels and dimes from sideshow attendees in the 1880's. Circus sideshow performers with unusual attributes were far from common, but even fewer had four legs.Original Cabinet Card Photograph c. 1880 by Wendt Collection Jim Linderman
