He appeared to be middle aged, his skin was dark brown and wrinkled, his nose flat and splayed, the forehead low, the mouth thin lipped and wide. And to top it of, he was 14 inches tall. The mummy was discovered by gold prospectors in 1932 blasting the walls of a gulch in the Pedro Mountains, 60 miles southwest of Casper, Wyoming.

Displayed in carnival freak shows for several years, the remains were eventually purchased by Ivan T. Goodman, a Casper businessman, and taken to New York City.
