Napoleon's Penis
This page contains links to online articles and websites about
Napoleon's penis. For the uninitiated, Napoleon's penis is said to
have been taken from him by the Abbé who delivered last rites. Since
then it has been sold, inherited and auctioned many times.
The current whereabouts of Napoleon's penis is still a matter of
some dispute, though by most accounts it is in the posession of an
american urologist named John Kingsley
Lattimer who paid $38,000 for it at a 1969 auction. In
addition to alledgedly owning Napoleon's penis, Lattimer is famous for
supervising the health of german war criminals during the Nuremberg
trials and writing several investigative pieces about the
assasinations of John F. Kennedy and Abraham
Lincoln.
