This memoir by Joseph Howard provides a unique perspective on the experiences of a person with dwarfism in early 19th-century America. Howard details his life, from his childhood as a novelty performer, to his service in the War of 1812, to his career as a merchant and farmer. Despite facing discrimination and ridicule throughout his life, Howard remained determined to live on his own terms.
