Robert Pershing Wadlow (February 22, 1918  July 15, 1940), also known as the Alton Giant and the Giant of Illinois, was an American man who was the tallest person in recorded history for whom there is irrefutable evidence. He was born and raised in Alton, Illinois, a small city near St. Louis, Missouri.

Wadlow's height was  while his weight reached  at his death at age 22. His great size and his continued growth in adulthood were due to hypertrophy of his pituitary gland, which results in an abnormally high level of human growth hormone (HGH).

Early life

Wadlow was born in Alton, Illinois, on February 22, 1918, to Harold Franklin and Addie May (Johnson) Wadlow, and was the oldest of five children. He was taller than his father by age 8, and in elementary school a special desk was made for him. By the time of his graduation from Alton High School in 1936, he was . He enrolled in Shurtleff College with the intention of studying law.

Adulthood and death

Wadlow required leg braces when walking and had little feeling in his legs and feet. He never used a wheelchair.

Wadlow became a celebrity after his 1936 U.S. tour with the Ringling Brothers Circus, appearing at Madison Square Garden and the Boston Garden in the center ring (never in the sideshow). During his appearances, he dressed in his everyday clothes and refused the circus's request that he wear a top hat and tails.

In 1938, he began a promotional tour with the International Shoe Company, which provided him shoes free of charge, again only in his everyday street clothes. Wadlow saw himself as working in advertising, not exhibiting as a freak. He possessed great physical strength until the last few days of his life.

Wadlow belonged to the Order of DeMolay, the Masonic-sponsored organization for young men, and was later a Freemason. By November 1939, Wadlow was a master mason under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Illinois A.F. and A.M.

One year before his death, Wadlow passed John Rogan as the tallest person ever. On June 27, 1940 (18 days before his death), he was measured by doctors at .

On July 4, 1940, during a professional appearance at the Manistee National Forest Festival, a faulty brace irritated his ankle, leading to infection. He was treated with a blood transfusion and surgery, but his condition worsened due to an autoimmune disease; he died in his sleep on July 15.

His coffin measured  long by  wide by  deep, weighed over , and was carried by twelve pallbearers and eight assistants. He was buried at Oakwood Cemetery in Upper Alton, Madison County, Illinois.

A life-size statue of Wadlow was erected opposite the Alton Museum of History and Art in 1986.

Hasko is the title of the most successful novel of German pedagogue, bard, theatre maker and writer Martin Luserke. It is published in German, Dutch and French language.

The novel is about a Dutch freedom fighter, one of the Watergeuzen who got a letter of marque to board ships of other nations. During the Eighty Years' War (1568–1648) between Spain and The Netherlands the fictional character got involved into a battle for the East Frisian city of Emden in North Sea and another battle near the West Frisian island Ameland. At that time the image of the Watergeuzen changed from buccaneers to freedom fighters officially acknowledged by William I, Prince of Orange (1533–1584).

The novel was created nearly entirely aboard Luserke's ship Krake in Falderndelft harbour of Emden. The book contains historic maps of both sea battles and detailed drawings of the ship types involved which the Geuzen had used.

The novel was awarded in 1935 with the 1st prize of Literaturpreis der Reichshauptstadt Berlin. The novel was published simultaneously by Franz-Eher-Verlag of Munich and Ludwig-Voggenreiter-Verlag of Potsdam.

During World War II a part of the edition by Voggenreiter was published with the remark Einmalige Sonderausgabe der Zentrale der Frontbuchhandlungen Paris (= singular special edition of head office of front libraries in Paris). It was printed by Imprimerie Chaim in Paris, France. These book editions were meant for soldiers of German Wehrmacht and got published in a special format to fit army postal service regulations.

The book was lastly reissued in 1989.

A predecessor of the novel was named Hasko wird Geusenkapitän (= Hasko becomes Geuzen captain) and was already published in 1925.

The Eastern Division champion Boston Redskins (7–5) were the home team, but their owner George Preston Marshall, the Packers and the league mutually agreed to move the game from Fenway Park to the Polo Grounds due to low ticket sales in Boston.

James Adam Bede (January 13, 1856 – April 11, 1942) was an American politician who served as U.S. Representative from Minnesota.

Early life and education

Bede and his twin brother were born on a farm in Eaton Township, Lorain County, Ohio. He spent his boyhood on a farm and attended the public schools of Ohio, Oberlin College, and Tabor College in Tabor, Iowa, and read law while learning the printing trade.

Career
Bede taught school in Iowa, Ohio, and Arkansas. He was editor and publisher of several newspapers and periodicals, and served as a representative for several western newspapers in Washington, D.C. In 1886, he moved to Minnesota. He was engaged in newspaper work at Pine City, Minnesota, Pine County, Minnesota; served as United States marshal for the district of Minnesota in 1894 during the great railway strike; spoke at the first annual dinner of the Associated Press in New York; elected as a Republican to the 58th, 59th, and 60th congresses, (March 4, 1903 – March 3, 1909); unsuccessful candidate for renomination in 1908 to the 61st congress; returned to Pine City; engaged as a publisher and lecturer; moved to Duluth, Minnesota, in 1927 and engaged in his former pursuits; also was interested in the St. Lawrence inland waterway project; Bede also served in the Minnesota House of Representatives, in 1931-1932, from St. Louis County, Minnesota; 
Bede was noted for his humor and speaking style. In an April 28, 1912 article titled "How humor Enlivens the Solemn Work of Congress" the New York Times reported:

Adam Bede was one of the most popular stump speakers and spellbinders of the present generation. His speeches were full of dry humor and his droll manner of illustrating his arguments by stories of the day never failed to win the applause of his audiences.

In his book The Homesteaders recounting life in early twentieth century rural Pine County Minnesota, O Bernard Johnson describes Bede's speaking style as follows:

J. Adam Bede of Pine City, was a congressman in the early 1900s. He was a great humorist and had a rapid fire delivery. When running for reelection he spoke in our schoolhouse and had the audience in stitches during his entire speech.  If he said anything seriously about the issues of the day no one can recall, but I am sure that his humor got him many votes.

Personal
Bede was married and had seven children. He died in Duluth, Minnesota, April 11, 1942 and is buried in Birchwood Cemetery, Pine City, Minnesota.
