Tallest Man in Navy From Yankton Enlists at Omaha
The United States Navy recruits in Omaha enlist a 19 year old from Yankton South Dakota named Poppe who stands two feet two inches tall. Officials note decks and hammocks limit his height but he persists. A congressman intercedes and authorities lower bars so he can enlist, marking a notable exception to standard height requirements. The article also reflects on Roosevelt era politics and McKinley era figures in broader biographical context.
