United States 1800s - More Naked Wild Men than Woodstock - Tirademan?

[Trogluddite]

Most of these clippings were printed in sections labeled "Oddities" or "Miscellaneous."  I haven't included detailed accounts that make clear that the "naked wild man" is a human with mental health issues or who was a vagrant at the time.  I've tried to avoid naked wild men that are the subject of other posts. It is unclear which, if any, of these posts Tirademan found. 

 

 

 

 

 

If he was unable to speak, how did they determine he was German?
