leatherman

a great radio piece on reasons for exhumation & the nature of legends, specifically connecticut's 'most famous hobo'- the leatherman.



FINAL RESTING PLACE OF
Jules Bourglay
OF LYONS, FRANCE
"THE LEATHER MAN"
who regualrly walked a 365 mile route
through Westchester and Connecticut from
the Connecticut River to the Hudson
living in caves in the years
1858-1889


his grave is mislabeled. stories of his cyclical travels, pretty amazing. listen up!

big ups to tobias for the tip on this tale. look for co-authored documentation of tanzanian cemeteries mid-2011.
