THE LEATHERMAN

-


In the 1800s, an enigmatic person known as the "Leatherman" would frequently travel a 365-mile circuit with no apparent reason. He gained notoriety as a well-liked local hero despite no one ever learning his name, area of origin, or reason for traveling.

The Leatherman wore a boot suit, a costume composed of tattered leather boots and ties that weighed more than 60 pounds, in all sorts of weather and all four seasons. Because he slept in caverns and was so good at keeping his routine, locals could tell the time based on his whereabouts. The Leatherman traveled between the Hudson and Connecticut rivers in 34 days, going through 40 little villages.

Both adults and kids in the community looked forward to his visits, despite the fact that he never said more than a few grunts in either English or French. Schoolchildren behaved themselves in the hopes of being picked to bring the Leatherman food as he passed their campuses since it was an honor when the Leatherman dropped by a home.

The local historical organization chose to relocate the Leatherman's roadside tomb because of the high number of visitors it received after he passed away in order to prevent mishaps. In 2011, when the remains was excavated in preparation for a new burial, many people believed DNA testing may shed light on the man's identity.

Those expectations, however, were shattered when they discovered that the remains were gone when they opened the coffin. Since no one knows who the Leatherman was or where he is today, the mystery surrounding him has only grown.

Remember that this man was so well-liked that kids would behave only to obtain the chance to give him a slice of bread. Talk about rewarding behavior! Parents nowadays may benefit from some education.

When it was time to unravel the enigma surrounding this mythical man, they discovered an empty coffin. The Leatherman's soul appears to be just as adventurous in death as it was in life. That or he has started a final 365-mile trek. Maybe he upgraded to a sneaker suit, who knows?
