International 1785 - Peter the Wild Boy of Hanover Dies

[Trogluddite]

The "wild man" captured in Hanover was apparently known as "Peter the wild boy" since he was so young when captured. Interesting to see what the displayed in a museum to remember him buy.  This article was printed on the 150th anniversary of the death of Peter the wild boy in the Uxbridge and West Drayton Gazette of London, England on March 01, 1935. 

 

 

 

And here's an original obituary (at the end of the list of luminaries) published in The Bath (Avon, England) Chronicle on March 3, 1785.
