George Williams

From Elizabeth Anderson:

"Born in Hot Springs, Arkansas in 1859, George Williams was billed as the "Turtle Boy." "He is eighteen inches high, has the head of a boy of about 12 years old, in size and his legs, from which he derives his nick name of the turtle boy, are solid bone with no knee cap or joints in them. The legs are bowed so badly that he cannot stand up at all and never could." (Daily Republican, Decatur, Illinois, April 1, 1898).
