John Rogan

John Rogan

John William (Willie) "Bud" Rogan (1868-1905) Sumner County, Tennessee, USA is one of twelve individuals in medical history to reach a height of eight feet or more. Rogan began to grow very rapidly at the age of 13 leading to Ankylosis, and eventually he could not stand or walk. His exact height was not measured until his death. At that time he measured 269cm (8 ft 9 in) tall but weighed only 79 kg (175 pounds), making him the tallest African-American, and the second tallest man, ever recorded. Rogan died in 1905 from complications of his disease.
