George Lippert

George Lippert (1844, Bavaria – July 1906, Salem, Oregon), was born with three legs and, as was discovered during his autopsy, two hearts.

Career At about 33 years old, Lippert emigrated from Bavaria to the United States in about 1877, beginning a sideshow career that lasted nearly 30 years. He exhibited with P. T. Barnum, where he was promoted as the "Only Three-Legged Man on Earth" and later as the "Original Three-Legged Man".

Legacy The Ronald G. Becker Collection of Charles Eisenmann Photographs, held by Syracuse University, includes a photograph of a painting titled "George Lippert three legged man".
