Admiral Dot (1859 or 1863 - October 28, 1918), born Leopold S. Kahn, was a dwarf performer for P. T. Barnum. His two dwarf brothers were known as Major Atom and General Pin. Their mother was declared insane and jailed after trying to drown General Pin when he was two years old. Barnum wrote: "During the week we spent in seeing San Francisco and its suburbs (1869), I discovered a dwarf more diminutive than General Tom Thumb was when first I found him, and so handsome, well-formed and captivating, that I could not resist the temptation to engage him. I gave him the soubriquet of Admiral Dot, dressed him in complete Admiral's uniform, and invited the editors of the San Francisco journals to visit him in the parlors of the Cosmopolitan Hotel. Immediately there was an immense furor, and Woodward's Gardens, where "Dot" was exhibited for three weeks before going east, was daily thronged with crowds of his curious fellow citizens, under whose very eyes he had lived so long undiscovered." Dot married married dwarf Lottie Swartwood, settled in White Plains, New York, and opened the Admiral Dot Hotel. He died of the 1918 influenza pandemic at the age of 54 or 59.
