Description
Charles Sherwood Stratton AKA General Tom Thumb (January 4, 1838 - July 15, 1883) was an American dwarf performer. P.T. Barnum, a distant relative, taught the boy how to sing, dance, mime, and impersonate famous people. Barnum took young Stratton on a tour of Europe, making him an international celebrity. His marriage with a little person, Lavinia Warren, became front-page news. Under Barnum's management, Stratton became a wealthy man. He owned houses, a steam yacht, and he had a wardrobe of fine clothes. He died unexpectedly of a stroke in 1883, at the age of 45. Over 20,000 people attended the funeral.
