CDV showing Sprague with his wife and first child. Sprague was an American
sideshow attraction known as "The Skeleton Man," famous for his

leaving him skeletal despite a hearty appetite, and he became a sensation with
P.T. Barnum's shows. Despite his condition, he married and had three sons but
died in poverty in Chicago at age 45, a tragic figure known for his baffling
illness and brief fame. No back mark
