James K. Van Brunt

James Kellogg Van Brunt (December 25, 1849 - February 9, 1935) was a model used extensively by illustrator Norman Rockwell during the 1920s. He was also a real estate agent. According to "Norman Rockwell and the Saturday Evening Post: The Early Years", by Starkey Flythe, Jr., Van Brunt entered Rockwell's studio, and proclaimed, "James K. Van Brunt, sir. Five feet two inches tall, sir. The exact height of Napoleon Bonaparte." He claimed to be a veteran of the battles of Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg, and the Battle of the Wilderness. He also claimed to have fought in battles against the forces of Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, and against the Spaniards in Cuba.
Rockwell used Van Brunt as a model so often that the "Post" editors started complaining.
