"BIG JIM" PATTERSON
Does anyone have information on "BIG JIM" PATTERSON. He was a great uncle of mine, who died in 1920. All I know is he traveled with RINGLING BROTHERS/ BARNUM & BAILEY CIRCUS as the "TALLEST MAN IN THE WORLD". "BIG JIM" WAS 8'4" tall. According to pictures on a flyer I was given, he sometimes dressed as a woman in his act. He wore size 22 shoes. I can't remember anything else-assuming I was told anything else. I only found this information when I met a cousin during one of my genealogy trips to ARKANSAS.

If anyone has unformation, or knows where I can find something out, please let me know. I would appreciate learning more about him.
Thanks, SUE SHIPMAN
