Charles Sherwood Stratton (January 4, 1838 – July 15, 1883), better known by his stage name "General Tom Thumb", was an American Dwarf
who achieved great fame as a performer under Circus pioneer P.T Barnum. On his 21st birthday, he was 2 feet 10 inches (86 cm) tall.
In February 1863, P. T Barnum arranged for Charles to marry one of his other turns, Lavinia Warren, also a person of restricted growth.
Their wedding was eagerly anticipated and it featured on the front page of the New York Times on the days leading up to the event - even though
