Robert Wadlow, The Tallest Man in History

Robert Wadlow, the "Alton Giant," was the opposite of what fairy tales say a giant should be. His extraordinary height still holds the world record for the tallest man in recorded history. The History Guy remembers an extraordinary man and his extraordinary life.
