  • Goshen Routh ou Routh Goshen (1824 - 12 février 1889) était connu sous le nom de Colonel Routh Goshen, nom de scène qui lui a été attribué par Phineas Taylor Barnum, fondateur du cirque Barnum. Il était présenté comme l'homme le plus grand du monde avec une taille de 2,40 m pour 280 kg, alors qu'il ne mesurait en fait que 2,26 m et pesait 180 kg. Alors que son vrai nom et sa date de naissance ont toujours été cachés du public, une lettre anonyme postée en 1980 indiquait que son vrai nom était Arthur James Caley et qu'il était né sur l'île de Man en 1824. Selon d'autres sources, en revanche, il était né à Jérusalem le 5 mai 1837. Ses origines demeurent à ce jour opaques. (fr)
