Question

average height and weight in or around the year of 1900 of an american male

Answer 1

Probably a short height because they weren't advanced in pretty much anything at that time.

Answer 2

http://www.p limoth.org/discover/myth/4-ft-2.php

does not say exactly around the early 1900s

but has some interesting information

Answer 3

5'9''

Answer 4

5'.9" for the height

I'm not sure what's the average weight now, but I can be pretty sure that it used to be far less than it is now.

Answer 5

Well I know during the Civil War the average man was 5 foot 7 and 145 pounds and probably an educated guess for 1900 would be 5 foot 9 and maybe 160 pounds
