International 1881 - Wild Man Captured in Transcaucasia - Tirademan! (Updated)

[Trogluddite]

When I first saw Tirademan's mention of this incident in the archives, I thought he meant a town or city named Armenia in the U.S. state of Georgia.  He apparently meant the Transcaucasus,  that mountainous isthmus that contains the present day countries of Armenia and Georgia.  I hope to find a more fulsome article; if so, I will publish it here.  For now, here is an article from The Silver Reef (UT) Miner published on September 3, 1881.

 

Update 1 November 2026: The first article below was published in The News and Observer of Raleigh (NC) on October 18, 1881 is shorter, but contains more information.
