It appears that he has 4 legs, including that cane :icon_scratch: Is that his pants legs to the ground with some sort of peg leg attached? Anyway, it's interesting to see the people and learn why they were important enough to be remembered.

I think I would have opted to have it sawed at the knee and go with a peg leg. I'd be bringing back the pirate look and wear puffy shirts like Sienfeld :laughing9: That had to be so uncomfortable and I bet poor circulation to the foot.

'Spect I would have opted for the 3 leg look rather than amputation given the surgical procedures and anethesiology of the time .
