Olof Krarer may be one of America's most effective impostors of the 20th century. Born in Iceland in 1858, she moved to the US at age nineteen. Because she was a dwarf, the only job she could get was as the wife in a dwarf couple at a circus. This book tells a story of a dwarf who made a living in 19th-century America posing as an Eskimo.
