Josephine Myrtle Corbin was an American sideshow performer born a dipygus. Which means, her body axis split while it was developing and as a result, she grew two separate pelvises, positioned side by side. She also had four legs, each outer leg was paired with a smaller inner leg. While she was able to move her inner legs, they were too weak for walking. She entered the sideshow circuit when she was 13-years old with the moniker "Four-Legged Girl from Texas".
She quit the biz and got married at 19, to James Clinton Bicknell, and she would go on to give birth to four daughters and a son. It was after she became pregnant for the first time and was thoroughly examined by her doctor, that they realized both sides of her external and internal genital organs mirrored each other. It was her left uterus that was pregnant at the time.
