Introduction: the monster now before us -- In and Chun -- Under their own direction -- The connected twins -- Asiatic Americans -- Southern curiosities -- Over their dead bodies -- Epilogue: the past rears its head.
Connected at the chest by a band of flesh, conjoined twins Chang and Eng Bunker toured the United States and the world from the 1820s to the 1870s, exhibiting their extraordinary bodies as 'freaks of nature' and 'Oriental curiosities'. The brothers constantly professed their normality - they spoke English, attended church, became American citizens, and backed the Confederacy during the Civil War. Yet in life and death, Americans saw the brothers as 'monstrosities', an affront they were unable to escape. This book chronicles the twins' history.
