Wild Men

by William D. Gibson

Overview

What was a 'Wild Man' -beast or man? Gibson has compiled 220 related newspaper articles, most over 100 years old, covering 42 states, Canada, and elsewhere. Read how witness accounts of Wild Men were reported - generally a bipedal, hairy, mostly naked, and elusive creature. Sometimes it's obvious what people saw; other times not. Some wild men were captured. Some were shot.

The wild men-related stories include the incredible capture of a bipedal hairy creature in Minnesota in 1839, the Leed's Devil of New Jersey, a fascinating 1829 deadly attack by a monstrous bipedal beast in the Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia, and many other incredible accounts.

About the Author

Raised in Massachusetts, William Gibson is a Brown University graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree. He served as a Special Agent in Counterintelligence in the Army during the Vietnam War, and obtained an MBA after that. Forty years of his working life have been at least partially devoted to putting words together, first writing intelligence and inspection reports for the military. Out of the Army, he followed a career in banking in Risk Management and Credit Administration. It was professionally satisfying to generate policies, plans, and reports for the bank. But when he retired, he opted for the fun of writing about zombies, science fiction, and now something real like Bigfoot. He currently resides in Berkley, Massachusetts.
