New York 1868 - A Wild Man Near West Milton

[Trogluddite]

A very short summary of this wild man is included in Bigfoot in New York and New England by Paul and Robert Bartholomew; however, they fail to mention some details that make the wild man sound more like a man than beast.  This may be an innocent oversight, as many wild man stories are published, in a much truncated fashion, by other papers.  This report published in The Sun of New York (NY) on July 22, 1868, tells the rest of the story.

 

UPDATE 22 Sept. 2026: I originally listed the wrong newspaper and publication date; that has been corrected.
