Louis Cyr, Strongman
Louis Cyr, famed Quebecois strongman who was for some
time with P.T. Barnum's Circus, is said to at one time
have held onto the tails of four horses at once.
The horses were then whipped, but could not run away.
Submitter comment:
Louis Cyr was married to the cousin of my
father's mother. She liked to spread impossible
stories about unrecorded feats of his.
