George Parrott, infamously known as Big Nose George, was a notorious cattle rustler, highwayman, and outlaw in the late 19th-century American Wild West. He seemed to fear on one as he robbed who ever, when ever. Eventually his action would catch up to him as an angry mob strung him up. Following his lynching, his body was taken by a doctor who performed macabre experiments on his remains. Not only that but skin was turned into shoes, and part of his skull was repurposed as an ashtray.
