Leatherman
From 1859 to 1889 a mysterious man known as Leatherman walked a circuitous route around Connecticut and New York state. He would start in Brewster and walk through various towns including Danbury. He would sleep in caves along the way and farmers would leave food for him along the route. He was garbed entirely in leather (hence his name) and would hardly ever talk to people along the trail. It took him about 34 days to complete one 365 mile circuit and then he would start over. Legend has it that he spoke and came from France (and carried a French Bible) and had had a business failure in the leather industry which led to the loss of the love of his life.
