Hello all, I think I've found a huge historical archive...And I think I've only scratched the surface! smile.gif

How's this for a story? 1839 Captured 8' 3" Wildman with 2 "cubs!"

It's one of the most historically interesting stories I found, and one of the oldest. Sorry, but the left margin was cut off to start with (of course!) Maybe someone can access the Boston Times archives around this date? Read the DETAILS of what it looks like! WOW! I've found SEVERAL stories of captured wildmen from the around the country 1800s with interesting descriptions and will share them as well.

I may need to create a web page to show them all. (Unfortunately my 100 year old grandmother passed away on Saturday and I'll be occupied this week at her funeral in Wisconsin.)

Even though they "prove" nothing, the do show how far back these stories go and how they describe truely similar events across many years. I even found one where "a student" was speculated to haved donned a robe to scare people, and was "lucky he wasn't shot by the monster hunters!"
