Summary edit

Caption edit

Photograph of Colonel Routh/Ruth Goshon/Goshen a.k.a. 'Middlebush Giant', a.k.a. 'Arabian Giant' When the Giant singed the back of this photograph, he listed his age as 28, weight as 475, and height as 7 feet 11 inches. In reality he was older, shorter, and lighter. And he was not a real Colonel. All of these stats were created by P.T. Barnum. The Giant spent his retirement in Middlebush, Franklin Township, where he died and is buried.
